"Wardrobe Malfunction" case begins today

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia will hear the case of television's most famous Wardrobe Malfunction, and whether or not that incident - accident or planned - should result in a fine of more than half a million on the CBS Network and a $27,500 fine on each of the network's owned local affiliates. CBS initially appealed the fines, calling them illogical because the incident was an accident, not a staged stunt. The FCC contends the network "knew or surely should have known" what was going to happen during their halftime show.
