IANAL, but I believe the court can issue a restraining order and injunction regarding the video tapes concerning only the two Baltimore ACORN employees, who are the plaintiffs in this case. If the other states in which O’Keefe and Giles taped their conversations with ACORN employees don’t have laws against such, then they can’t be sued over it. The Baltimore courts have no jurisdiction over the other tapes, but again, IANAL.

Yes, you are correct. Also, although I initially thought that these tapes were clearly illegal, I've read some commentary by Maryland attorneys that leads me to believe that it's NOT a foregone conclusion that ACORN will prevail in their attempt to secure an injunction against the distribution of the MD tapes. Lastly, ACORN and the two employees have virtually NO chance of success with respect to their monetary claims, IMO.
