Oh that crap with the stenographer holding the rights is garbage, just garbage. It's terrible that this stupidity is allowed. They are employed by the court so either the stenographer's work belongs under the purview of "public domain" like most other federal documents, or the copyright should belong to the government of the state or other body in charge of the jurisdiction that the court presides over.
