"Kim Dotcom's extradition appeal will be livestreamed, however all footage must be removed from the internet after the hearing ends."
The judge obviously doesn't know how the Internet works, but I applaud his efforts.

Rights are nice ideas which are only as meaningful as they are enforced by people with power.
At least that's my suspicion.
I suspect, therefore, that it will have legal standing that it will not be allowed in court, and it will be illegal to distribute the video, but I feel as though you can't legally compel me to delete it.
Of course, I'm not a lawyer, but I could encrypt the video such that you could never prove I had it.
If a third-party makes a copy, its not Kim Dotcoms fault in the same way that TV stations are not charged with a crime if someone makes a copy of the news which includes live footage. At worst, the "media" entity is responsible to behave professional and act according to some best practice, but those kind of liability requirement tend to have a high bar.
