(2) Such audio and video recordings will be retained by the clerk of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals until such time as the Supreme Court shall order their destruction. (3) Copies of such audio and video recordings will be made available to the public on request for a cost representing the cost of copying as shall from time to time be established by the Supreme Court. (4) In addition, subject to the availability and installation of equipment and facilities, such proceedings will be broadcasted over the Internet through the Supreme Court's web site or such other site as the Supreme Court shall direct.
