It will be interesting to see whether the lawyers in the recent cases where people live-streamed their crimes can keep the video out of evidence in their criminal trials.
- bendykstra 10y agoOn what grounds?
- sverige 10y agoI have no idea. That's why it would be interesting. Lawyers are pretty creative sometimes.
- Symmetry 10y agoI was curious about the idea and did some Googling. Apparently some people have tried to use copyright to exclude evidence against them at trials. Citing a document at a trial doesn't usually reduce it's commercial value so Fair Use is typically the rule. The one exception in the page I found was when a lawyer commissioned the copyrighted work for one trial and then tried to introduce it in another trial without the permission of the copyright holder. http://www.trademarkandcopyrightlawblog.com/2014/08/when-can-you-be-sued-for-introducing-copyrighted-works-at-trial-almost-never-but-plaintiffs-keep-trying/ http://www.trademarkandcopyrightlawblog.com/2014/08/when-can...
