A video blogger in California lost his appeal over contempt charges after he refused to turn over video he shot at a demonstration. Joshua Wolf, 24, had filmed a G8 demonstration in San Francisco which turned violent. Wolf is currently free on bail, but federal prosecutors have filed a motion to have him jailed while the appeals process continues.

Update: Wolf’s bail has been revoked.
