A “staggering” number of Canadians are gripped to live video of Johnny Depp’s defamation battle with Amber Heard. But it couldn’t happen here.

. That doesn’t mean the Depp trial is typical — the vast majority of cases don’t feature salacious content about Hollywood’s rich and famous. Also, U.S. judges can ban television coverage from their courtrooms.

Meanwhile, here in Ontario, the Courts of Justice Act prohibits photographs and video recording of court hearings, nor are any recordings allowed in courthouses. “The easy access of court proceedings online is a boon to transparency and the open courts principle,” the report said. However, that doesn’t mean the CBA is prepared to endorse a plan to make entire civil and criminal trials accessible to the public via YoutTube, so that anyone with a computer can tune in.

The YouTube coverage has also captured the carnival atmosphere outside the Virginia courthouse, which, inarguably, would exist with or without the internet coverage. One morning, after emerging from a large black Cadillac Escalade, reggae artist Bob Marley blasting behind him, Depp walked into the building smiling and waving to female fans yelling “We love you, Johnny.”
