It didn't take long for the veil to fall on streaming video of this event. Obviously outside of edit comment it leaves to much at risk, which is unfortunate in these open source times.
I thought that this would get stamped on, and now has. The ideas behind raw and unedited content was to much for the judge, equally the ability to make this happen now versus say a few years ago creates dilemmas from unedited content like here to rights issues (like sports below). All media is clambering to get on board this to hold onto viewers / readers etc, but it seems here the judge deemed enoughs a enough lets go back to the old school.
Rules governing website coverage of the David Bain trial have been updated after fresh concerns were raised over footage being streamed live from the courtroom.
In a decision released today Justice Graham Panckhurst said minutes from his previous ruling showed the application for streaming by TV3 "was not pursued".
The TV network had been permitted to run footage provided it used a 10-minute delay. Its website warned viewers the footage "is subject to strict suppression orders and may not be available at all times".
However, lawyers for both sides spoke out after audio was broadcast of a discussion which occurred after the jury had been cleared from the courtroom.
There were also concerns that witnesses may watch parts of the trial before taking the stand, breaching an order for their exclusion.
Justice Panckhurst said websites would now be limited to "conventional news coverage" with content edited before being aired.
