Media organizations and public interest groups Thursday filed “friend of the court” briefs in the Joel Tenenbaum file-swapping case, supporting a judge’s earlier decision to allow some video from the case to be streamed live over the Internet.
Tenenbaum, a Boston University graduate student, is represented by Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson and a group of law students. Nesson has pushed for the entire trial to be streamed online, though Judge Nancy Gertner initially agreed only to broadcast a single hearing. The feed would come from cameras already installed in the courtroom and would be available to anyone from the Harvard’s Berkman Center. (Other sites would also be free to host the stream.)
