Not sure how I missed this. Earlier this year, activists stood up in the Supreme Court to protest the Court's campaign finance decisions. But one of the most interesting aspects of the protests was that protesters created a bootleg video of the court in session. You can't see or hear much, but it's a one-of-a-kind document of the Court in action.
Not so certain about this Supreme Court Boot, but bootlegs surely have an important role in documenting ephemeral moments. I'm particularly thankful that some people managed to score unauthorized recordings of the final Richard and Linda Thompson tour, circa 1982. I saw the couple (complete with sturm and drang) in Providence, Boston and New York but chestnuts from the Baltimore show can be found here.
Whether or not to listen or view to these unauthorized boots is a matter between you and your God.
