[videoblogging] Fwd: While Web 2.0 happens, I observe day laborers
An Eric Rice request. http://www.ericrice.com/blog/?p=476 -- Forwarded message -- From: Eric Rice [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Apr 17, 2007 9:09 PM Subject: While Web 2.0 happens, I observe day laborers To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In my rural Silicon Valley town, there are day laborershttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_laborer, who line both sides of Main Street near the Caltrain station. They wait eagerly for any work, no matter how back-breaking or menial. Some construction crew, someone needing yardwork anything to get a few extra dollars. I saw them this morning when I went to the grocery after dropping the kids off at school. I saw them again at lunch time when I went to the bank, albeit, in much smaller numbers. Some of them retired to the shade in the parking lot of the bank I didn't see them at first until I pulled my truck into the parking lot. For a split second, their faces lit up. A truck! But alas, I had no work for them. I was going to the bank.

Re: [videoblogging] Fwd: While Web 2.0 happens, I observe day laborers
Yeah, it's interesting - I rambled a reply on his site last night. As far as I can see, he's ranting about the narrow mindedness of a particular silicon valley crowd of web2 geeks commentators... and to an extent, he's right to call them on it. I mean, Justin.tv is a bit of a wasted opportunity. BUT... i don't really see the group he's talking about as having much of a crossover here. most people here are content makers - or are interested in what the tech can *do* for us... rather than in tech for tech's sake. and although we're still a small crowd, we have more in common with the much larger numbers of people who will follow: some of whom previously would have created documentaries or drama for TV with a social agenda. It's getting much harder to get docs on TV, and easier to get them seen online. We, as a group - and those who will join us when the audiences grow - do have a more outward vision, generally, than the people Eric is complaining about. The first things that pop into my head are Ryanishungry's green geeks, Swajana, Alive in Baghdad and there are many more people out there not just banging on about the technology, but using it for a Social end, and giving voices to other communities, such as these day laborers. I mean, GOD, most of us document specific things - personal or otherwise - which have value outside tech commentary. *Of course* the responsibility for spreading the democratising power of these tools will lie in the hands of the content makers, not the geeks who invent and develop the tools. We've just got to bring more and more videomakers to the web who have something to say. I converted one of these - a documentary maker - only yesterday.

[videoblogging] Microsoft vs. Adobe
http://gigaom.com/2007/04/15/another-fight-microsoft-vs-adobe/ Another fight Microsoft vs. Adobe Its the season to rumble! Microsoft has just launched beta of a new media technology called Silverlight that essentially is going to compete with Adobes Flash technology. Adobe, meanwhile has introduced Adobe Media Player, a standalone media player that can be perceived as a competitor to Windows Media Player. Microsoft has signed up MLB as a partner for Silverlight. Adobe is working with eBay, the Wall Street Journal says. The new media player is an effort by Adobe to capture some of the upside of the online video boom. It must tweak their melons that a company that used their Flash technology, aka YouTube got sold for $1.65 billion, and all they got was a proverbial T-Shirt! The media companies have a lot of questions about the other technology providers are they becoming media companies or becoming providers We are not a media company, Craig Barberich, group product manager for Adobe Dynamic Media Organization tells NewTeeVee. Thats a dig at iTunes as well, because AMP does mimic many of the video features of Apples digital media platform. Nevertheless, this promises to be a long bloody fight, though Adobe has an advantage, thanks to near omnipresence of Flash on all platforms.

[videoblogging] Re: Microsoft vs. Adobe
I dont know what to think about the Adobe announcement, will have to wait and see. But as for the Microsoft announcement, all that is new is the name. The beta has been around since Feb, it was previously known as WPF/E and I talked about it here a little bit in the past. I will go do a small piece on what Silverlight means to videobloggers at this stage, I guess I should put it on the wiki. The simple explanation is that if you dont use wmv format video at all, theres no need to pay any attention to silverlight. If you do use wmv, then you can look forward to a much better browser-based wmv experience on PC and Mac, with the potential for the player to do the sorts of things that we are getting used to flash players being able to offer.

[videoblogging] SOCAN Seeks $60 Annual Podcaster Fee
WTF? http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/1882/125/ C. --- http://galacticast.com/
[videoblogging] Re: SOCAN Seeks $60 Annual Podcaster Fee
It applies to copyrighted music, its the same sort of thing you need if you run a club that plays music, or shopping mall or whatever. Its not new and when similar decision on fee's was made in regards to US internet radio, there were some who said it was too much and was killing net radio. I dont know how true it is, I just know it applies to all the usual mainstream copyrighted stuff, and so the easierst way round it is not to use copyrighted works. Personally I would be really happy if there was a simialr thing for online video, because it means for a price, people could easily use copyrighted stuff in their shows, and actually have the proper right to do so,m thus removing much grey. Right now we already assume that we dont have the right to do that (apart from fair use stuff), and so such a licence would be giving us an extra freedom that would cost money, as opposed to applying a cost to something we could already legitimately do for free.

Looks like its being reviewed in the UK at the moment, and would apply to vlogs as well I guess: http://www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk/playingbroadcastingonline/online/Podcasting/Pages/podcasting.aspx Use of music in a digital recording of an audio or audio-visual programme, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal player. We are in the process of reviewing the Podcasting licensing schemes following feedback from both members and licensees. Until new schemes are available we are arranging interim agreements. I went sniffing around that site a bit more and there were all sorts of different licences which a UK vlogger might want to explore, eg 'production music' which covers fee's for using music thats in a specific library for use by tv shows etc. Costs are quite high, eg £196 for one 30 second clip. In the past Ive generally assumed that such license things are too expensive or complex to be worth looking at, so I shall be very interested to see if a sanely priced podcasting/video podcasting license emerges anywhere. USA equivalents include: http://www.ascap.com/weblicense/ http://bmi.com/newmedia/entry/C1170 It all gets a bit messy on the net because traditionally there are performance rights, to play the music in public, and there are mechanical rights, to make copies of the music. A podcast can be seen as requiring both. And the rights organisations only really cover their own members work, so you still need to check carefully whether you can use specific works.

[videoblogging] Re: SOCAN Seeks $60 Annual Podcaster Fee
Well not all publishers are members of SOCAN, but I imagine most of the big labels are, and SOCAN have deals with other copyright collectives in other countries, so that their work is also covered. So in general the safe assumption is to presume it covers all copyrighted music. The main intention of these things is to collect royalties where it would be difficult to do so on a 'per case' basis. Eg a radio station plays so many tracks, they dont want to have to do a deal with each record company every time they play a song, so they keep playlists which are submitted to the rights body, who then calculate royalties and share those royaltis with its members. So if you are an artist who copyrights their work, youd probably want to join one of these things so that you get your royalty cheque. Now in your example of the friend with a band, it would depend on whether that band had signed any deals. Those deals might have reassigned the copyright for their songs to the record label. Unless the friend has retained the right to personally give or sell licenses to use the work to other people, then he doesnt have the right to give you permission to use the song. The record company could come after you, because they are the copyright holder and you dont have their permission. You are most likely to have SOCAN and others demanding you get a license from them, if you are are repeatedly using music. Im sure there have been cases where the venue or company has claimed it only uses public domain or other music it has the right to, in which case SOCAN might look for a specific violation, eg singing happy birthday, to use as an example. But generally they arent copyright police who will go after each and every person who violates the copyright of specific musicians, they are looking for venues, companies, radio shows, and now it seems podcasts, that are regularily performing copyrighted music. And SOCAN only cover the performance rights, not mechanical rights, which some other copyright collective will deal with.

The problem is the term music being used too broadly, the assumption being there isnt any other sort of music that people would use. http://www.socan.ca/jsp/en/music_users/ So anyway it gives you the right to use music from most of the major publishers etc. Another way of looking at it is that things like 'podsafe music' are safe from this sort of thing, socan cant touch you if you arent using copyrighted music. Its a bargain if you ask me. Steve Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, David Meade meade.dave@ wrote: ?! .. !?

Depends on whether your friend is a SOCAN member or not. If the Canadian system is anything like the Danish system your friend will be a SOCAN member if he is even remotely serious about his music. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/
[videoblogging] Re: SOCAN Seeks $60 Annual Podcaster Fee
around the 18/4/07 Steve Watkins mentioned about [videoblogging] Re: SOCAN Seeks $60 Annual Podcaster Fee that: It applies to copyrighted music, its the same sort of thing you need if you run a club that plays music, or shopping mall or whatever. Its not new and when similar decision on fee's was made in regards to US internet radio, there were some who said it was too much and was killing net radio. I dont know how true it is, I just know it applies to all the usual mainstream copyrighted stuff, and so the easierst way round it is not to use copyrighted works. Personally I would be really happy if there was a simialr thing for online video, because it means for a price, people could easily use copyrighted stuff in their shows, and actually have the proper right to do so,m thus removing much grey. Right now we already assume that we dont have the right to do that (apart from fair use stuff), and so such a licence would be giving us an extra freedom that would cost money, as opposed to applying a cost to something we could already legitimately do for free. just agreeing with my .05 cents worth. In australia if you want to play music in your shop/restaurant etc you just pay an annual licence fee to the copyright agency, they disseminate royalties to copyright owners. Easy, reasonably priced, provides compensation to owners. We also had (might still do) a small surcharge on every blank audio cassette when they gave up and decided it was Ok to make a tape of a LP or whatever, so just stick a few cents on the cassettes and the same agency once again distributes the $ (it is done on the basis of playlists and record sales I think). Is a sensible no fuss model, though of course is all based on regions - because the copyright owners have divided the world up into regional markets (for example in Australia until recently we could not import books or CDs from the US since most of the copyright owners for Australia were British firms and we had to wait for them to release it under their label/imprint) this means they have trouble how to deal with the net. It just threatens not only IP but the geographical basis of their business models. -- cheers Adrian Miles this email is bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private [x] vogmae.net.au
