suraj.sun writes "The Recording Industry Association of America on Monday demanded a federal judge order Harvard University's Charles Nesson to remove from the internet "unauthorized and illegal recordings" of pretrial hearings and depositions in a file-sharing lawsuit headed to trial.
"The idea that a court is being asked by them to order educational material to be removed from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society website seems a questionable intrusion both on my liberty and the public interest," said Nesson in a telephone interview. "I certainly don't agree that I am violating any law."
The case concerns former Boston University student Joel Tenenbaum, who Nesson is defending in an RIAA civil lawsuit accusing him of file-sharing copyrighted music. Jury selection is scheduled in three weeks, in what is shaping up to be the RIAA's second of about 30,000 cases against individuals to reach trial.
