Bryan, you do realize that Obama has appointed 6 former RIAA attorneys to his administration, don't you? “It’s very disappointing that in this ‘era of transparency’ the Obama administration ushered in, we still have judges and other parts of our government trying as hard as they can to obscure facts and distort the justice system.”

So much for a transparent adminsitration, but then again, I guess we can see right through it.

S. should not be having 20th century trials in the 21st century. The rules closing down trials to the media are based on communication models from the 1920s, when cameras and microphones were large and obtrusive. With modern technology, this is no longer the case. There may be an occasional justification to close off trials to protect individuals, but there is no reason for courts to protect recording cartels. The U.

Why wait weeks or month for a transcript if the information can be disseminated at least "near real time" though? If you students have cell phones with reasonable data plans (of course you shut those phones down during the proceedings!) you could beam your thoughts in picture and voice only minutes after the proceedings out to the internet! See for example the cell phone/laptop broadcasts from the TPB trial in sweden via the "bambuser" live web transmitting service. http://bambuser.com/channel/Spectrial so can’t the jfb team simply pay a collegue of the original court reporter (or some other person that can type steno since the courtreporters might do this illegal cartel forming too when their “records monopoly” is threatened) to wittness the proceedings in person, write it down and have it instantly after judge gertner hits the closing gavel public over the internet?

"I hope you will make a motion for rehearing en banc." Futile. There are only six judges on the First Circuit and three of them sat on this case. So Joel would need to convince all three others (there's no way any of Lynch, Boudin, Howard would be convinced) PLUS get one of the three members of the panel to change his mind. Not going to happen. "The USA has no need for secret trials on matters of copyright." Dude, this is not the Star Chamber. Judge Gertner's courtroom will be open.

What possible reason could the court have to deny us the opportunity to witness these proceedings? I could understand if the defendant wanted to keep the proceedings quiet, but in this case it is a serial litigator wanting to keep its actions as hidden as possible.
