Also came here to ask this.

Why is it even legal for them to impose that restriction on anyone?! -They are for absolute certain, recording every second of this!

How is it that they think no one else should?!

Is it to make money on transcripts or something?!

Hmm, perhaps it's to regulate and manage where the recordings are stored. If they're on random laptops that could be compromised/hacked/stolen the fallout from that could be really bad.

Maybe the recordings are still available to be accessed etc with the right permission.

I'll buy that... If you give me a steep discount.

I think it's outrageous that they can record it, but no one else can.

I mean, I'm just some random person speculating on the internet. I have no idea why that's their policy. But would you trust a lawyer who can't turn off a kitten face filter with securing a video recording of your court hearing on their home computer? Or would you be worried if your opponent in court was allowed to have a recording of your case and any of your testimony?

You make valid points, but I was viewing this from the perspective that they were going to say stuff that they didn't want you to record, because it could be used against them later.

I worked for FedEx once, and they did that shit constantly!

But this is a public court with an ostensibly neutral judge with counsel from both plantiff and defendant... Who is "they"?

It's to stop leaks of information usually I'd think. If you consider that it might include witness info, details specific to the case that aren't publically known, specific documents that might not be for the public (income statements,contracts, patents...). I dunno what court he was in at the time but it's all reasons why you'd not want a random copy out there to get hacked, stolen or copied deliberately by less than wonderful people.
