Scalia Apologizes for Erasure of Reporters' Tapes of Speech (washingtonpost.com)

Scalia Apologizes for Erasure of Reporters' Tapes of Speech (washingtonpost.com)

A little off the subject of K4D, but this story did raise the question in my mind of the rights of speakers to restrict members of their audience from recording speeches for their own use. I don't know where in US law such a right might be given.

I note in the New York Times' version of the story, Justice Scalia is quoted stating that he does not have the authority to give orders to U.S. Marshals acting as his security force.
