"I want to build windows between these spaces. We’d place videoconferencing systems unobtrusively in walls within these spaces – possibly something no more complicated than a flat-screen monitor and a webcam.

“Legal experts weigh in”?
Idiots.
They are not the right people to judge how good a court decision is.
