"A Harvard Law School professor who is defending a Boston University student accused of downloading #music illegally urged a federal appeals court panel yesterday to allow live Internet coverage of a hearing in the lawsuit, something that has never happened in a federal trial court in Massachusetts. Charles R. Nesson told a three-member panel of the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, in Boston, that a gavel-to-gavel webcast of an upcoming hearing in the suit by the Recording Industry Association of America against Joel Tenenbaum would be "an opportunity for the world to see what the recording industry is doing to him." Tenenbaum, a 25-year-old student seeking a doctorate in physics, clicked seven times on his computer to download seven songs and found himself being sued for thousands of dollars by the recording industry, said Nesson." - Boston.com
