BitTorrent based distribution services under fire


MPAA to serve lawsuits on BitTorrent servers | The Register
The title is a bit misleading. These aren’t BitTorrent servers but websites hosting Torrents to illegal (copyrighted) material. It is good news that the MPAA is differentiating the technology used from the content. In some strange twisted way I think that this will be a boost for independent media bittorrent distribution as the popular content just won’t be available. Perhaps people might even open their eyes.

Phasors Built My Hot Rod

NIME documentary, ‘Phasors Built My Hot Rod” Fall 2003
NIME, New Interfaces for Musical Expression, is a class at ITP taught by Gideon D’Arcangelo. NIME2 is an offshoot of people from that class and anyone else that is interested. They have been playing individually and as a group around world. Evan did a great documentary about some of the instruments, performances and the concepts of NIME in general.
