Indeed, given that the Court of Appeal's characterises the issues raised as 'important', it is likely that the two are now independent. <BR/><BR/>It is no surprise that the RIAA would wish to press ahead with the oral arguments without the streaming as they appear to think that they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by appearing on screen. There is no mention yet of a similar request to proceed to trial without streaming but I expect that to be a safe bet should they clear this first hurdle.<BR/><BR/>I see no pressure on the defendant to proceed without streaming and think it likely that we will see a counter motion that broadly says that as it was the plaintiff who felt the matter of streaming should first be decided by the Court of Appeals that the District Court should await the higher court's verdict on the issue as it has implications well beyond this case. <BR/><BR/>There may be a sense of unease by the plaintiff that even if their view prevails in this case that the Court of Appeals may subsequently rule against them and leave them wholly exposed to similar requests in other courts.<BR/><BR/>It is often best not to poke a sleeping dog.<BR/><BR/>DaveJadeichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621372649607340215noreply@blogger.com
