It’s called advertising, if the RIAA had of just said “OK”, no one would have been interested now would they.

” Put it on a P2PTV service, and then when itâs over, torrent it. Assuming that Reader is right about televised court hearings not being copyrighted, that would be the PERFECT way for RIAA to ââeducateâ the public!â

That’s exactly what they are afraid of, and why they are fighting so hard to keep it from happening.
The mainstream media,they can control, prevent it from being seen.
On the internet, it is eternal, and will spread everywhere, and no one will be able to stop it.

Just like the filesharing they fear so much.

Nice.

Except ::some group:: has already worked with ISPs to block P2P, cutting off my Joost and bittorrented Linux ISOs…

I have no doubt there will be numerous uploads of this to YouTube.
I do have every doubt YouTube would even read a DMCA takedown request for something that is being given the status (by the court) of “public domain”, and is showing material that contains no material from the USA (where the DMCA only applies).

Even if we had something similar to their DMCA, such a takedown request would have to come from the very court that approved the transmission in the first place.

I’m not in a region where this is going to be broadcast.
Could someone perhaps upload it to Youtube, or Liveleak (Youtube might just receive a DMCA takedown or something), so the public can see what’s going on?
I don’t think televeised court proceedings are copyrighted anyway.
