First up, let me be clear: if a courthouse makes it clear that no recording is allowed of a hearing you should not record it. I do think that those policies -- which are quite common in many courthouses -- are bad policy. I think recordings of hearings should be more widely available. But defying court rules is a very, very bad idea. As you may have heard, last week Britney Spears gave an impassioned plea to a court to end a conservatorship that allows her father to more or less control her life. The speech was, apparently, ineffective as the judge denied the request (though the fallout from this mess continues to spiral).

Soon after reports of the speech came out, a recording of the hearing showed up on YouTube -- in violation of the court's rules. If you go to the link now, it says the recording was taken down due to "a copyright claim by Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles" (takedown first spotted by the Twitter account @beka_valentine).
