EFF takes on the Music Industry

#nextScene

From the site:
For years, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has been waging war against peer-to-peer file-sharing software and the technologists who create it. Now the RIAA has turned its crosshairs on you, threatening to sue you for sharing the music you love. But even shotgun-style lawsuits won't solve the RIAA's problem. As more and more Americans learn to love online music, the answer must lie in new business models that harness the power of P2P as a vehicle for paying artists. If artists get paid when we share files, then artists win, we win, and yes -- even the RIAA wins.

New Windows based Media Server

Unreal Media Server overview

From the site:
Efficient multimedia delivery over public networks is a challenge for modern technology. Insufficient bandwidth, network latency, paranoid firewall restrictions and many more obstacles make it very difficult to transfer streaming content to end users, especially in real-time. Existing Media servers, such as Microsoft and Real Networks ones, only partially cover growing demand for streaming quality.

The product presented on this site - Unreal media server - is a Media server for Windows operating systems, that dares to compete with above mentioned servers from the standpoint of quality and performance.

Location One | Manifesto

From the site:
MANIFESTO :: Our Artistic Mission

Location One: Catalyst for Content and Convergence
This is our credo:

1. First, the Internet will be about content,
not just serve as a conduit for it. The nature of the technology changes content%u2014not just access and distribution%u2014with implications across the full range of artistic expression and subject matter.

2. Second, Location One is about convergence.
We are bringing together creativity along the two standards that have governed the history of human expression: the axis of expressive discipline and the axis of available technology.

3. Third, Location One is a catalyst.
We select talent, stimulate interaction, supply resources, and provide real and virtual forums. We enable things both cool and consequential to happen. New media transform artistic expression. Conventional barriers of time and distance are erased. With them depart a myriad of social, political and cultural distinctions. Access, distribution, participation become universal (and affordable).

4. Creative alternatives proliferate.
