Re: [videoblogging] Fun legal developments
Really nice thoughts, MIke. ron On Dec 26, 2006, at 6:53 PM, Mike Meiser wrote: It is hysterical. It's contrary to not only to the very notion of media, but also contrary to the current momentum of what's going on web wide. Not only are all the major video hosting sites encouraging linking and especially embedding their videos in other webpages, but the business models such as advertising are starting to endoctrinate and embrace this model too. The point being a view is a view... you can't stop it, so why not put the add in the video and embrace and encourage it. The rules of the changing despite what copyright says, because some of the more extreme fringes of copyright is directly at odds with fundamental properties of the digital real and the internet. Necessity is not only the mother of innovation, but of change... and not even law can stand against it. Since we've begun video podcastin in 2004 the mediated web has gone from one of scare online culture to a web of rich and diverse culture of music and video and photos and mp3's. General perceptions of giving it away for free have nearly done a 180 in recent years. I remember when only a few years ago you were lucky as hell if you could find a downloadable movie trailer... it was all WMV, Real or nothing... now your movie doesn't exist unless you have atleast one downloadable movie trailer... movie studios have learned to let go and embrace the free sharing as a matter of marketing. It's the same way with mp3's and artists... and can you believe that in a time before flickr people only used to share thumbnails of their images... where now 90+% of flickrites allow you to download 4, 7 and even 11megapixel photo originals. Now we can laugh about this judge who thinks it's illegal to link directly to videos, but when Lucas Gonze started webjay only a few years ago he risked serious legal peril for hot linking to mp3's on the open web. If I'm proud of one thing it's that the media rich culture has in the last 2 short years exploded. Someone once said that we had to drag american culture out onto the open web kicking and screaming... and we so have. Five years ago height of popular culture was britney spears... now it's dominated by the likes of youtube and other services... which really is all about hundreds of thousands of people... I think it's safe to say in only a few short years we've made the cultural transition from a culture dominated by television and radio to a culture dominated by the internet and with it a whole new cornicopia of participatory culture has awakened. Some people may point to television and radio and popular music and say they haven't really slowed down... but who said they would? Certainly not me... while we are transitioning away from such a culture where television and radio dominate... the irony is they will not shrink... in fact they will be free to grow. It's not a zero sum game... the market doesn't just move from one place to another, it grows... why? The longer the tail the bigger the head... Because we're in a culture of appreciation for one.People aren't born appreciating design, or music, or hollywood movies... these are not instinctual... they are not even necissary, they are aspects of participation and appreciation of culture, just like art... the more participation the more appreciation, the more growth... This is why you don't find world class fashion designers in small town america... they move with the heard in new york or paris or elsewhere... because more competition... more designers creates more appreciation for design. We're all clothed... we don't need the gucci... yet still we want the gucci... the why is the story of the future of all intellectual property. And so it does with music and movies. Participation breeds appreciation. Secondly, because the global marketplace believe it or not is not totally saturated with american culture and technology... we've in fact barely scratched the surface. 5-10 years ago there were people in poverty in china than there were in the whole western world combined... they have increasing buying power... I'm not saying they're going to all rush out and buy american culture at all... in fact I'm sure we'll do as much buying of chinese culture as they do U.S. but it's such a hugely untapped market... and the same goes for india, and africa and south america. Right now the U.S. consumes something like 1/3 of the world's resources. That's changing. In summary... the market for intellectuall propery is EXPLODING... after years of being put on the shelf or more the couch millions of consumers world wide are becoming creators... we are just at the very very start of this future. The internet like the printing press... like the discovery of the new world is a change which will take centuries to play out. But it's going to create a cornicopia of intellectual goods... of music, writing,

[videoblogging] Funny idea: blogger press corps?
Hi all, It occurs to me that if regular people with video cameras were able to meet up together and collectively interview people, for instance famous people, the result could be interesting, for several reasons: (A) A group could probably ask more interesting questions of interviewees than an individual interviewer could. (B) If it's not staged in some way, regular people always have more off the wall questions than MSM people do. (C) The larger the group of interviewers, perhaps the more willing some important people would be to be interviewed, especially man of the people types. However there is also big risk: You know how everyone hates the White House Press Corps, because all they do is pose easy, softball questions to Bush and pals. Everyone senses it's staged. The risk would be that bloggers would do the same, or that the mainstream media would imitate them and stage fake populist interviews. Or the MSM could try to discredit the idea by staging especially unruly or disrespect-filled interviews. Zack

Re: [videoblogging] Re: John Edwards to Run for President (announcement on YouTube)
I'm curious as to how you believe that these things will pull out a win against an opponent whose primary weapon is the echo chamber, guaranteeing that, for every assertion you make, there will be an army of people on every media outlet imaginable all saying the exact same contradiction to whatever Edwards/Clinton/Whoever says. Kerry often dug his own grave in 2004, but it's also very true that he was smothered out in the media-- every one of his merits became sidelined, niggled, and confused; every one of his blunders instantly became a gaping flaw (think about the flip flopper label he earned). The grassroots is great for taking Congress, but not a Presidency. I still remember in 2004 as I marched in the streets for Kerry (even though I didn't really like him) and found that our assembled grassroots power paled in comparison to the regimented and well-funded power the Bush 2004 campaign had. We had our signs, chants, hope, and energy. They had their signs, chants, hope, and energy...and several party wagon vehicles...and a DJ...and threw major parties that got young people registered and hyped up for Bush...and...and... My sincere belief is that 2008 will be a battle of insiders.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: John Edwards to Run for President (announcement on YouTube)
To me, you can't compare the presidential campaigns of 2004 to the one happening now. In 2004 we were in the midst of war. Even though people didn't like Bush, many rationalized it as being too dangerous or too potentially complicating to switch presidents in the middle of such international crisis. I know this because I have friends in the army, even some who were deployed in Iraq, who swore they hated Bush BUT felt that for the aforementioned reasons, he should remain president. Also, you forget that the Democrats had their own roundabout media powerhouses like P. Diddy, Paris Hilton, and the such, campaigning for the youngsters to rock the vote, which while claiming non-partisanship were largely lobbying for the Democrats by insinuating the threat of the draft if Bush were to remain president. While I love Hillary Clinton and want her to win, I think the combined fact that she's a woman and her liberal record will make her presidential campaign reminiscent of the grassroots movement that you reference, more so than someone like Edwards, who has enough exposure and general liberal-conservative appeal to win the presidency.

What was it like for you all to visit New Orleans? Any plans to post more footage from your trip, there or on Chuck's site? Ten years ago I was spending a lot of time in the ninth ward, and would love to see more accounts of how people are rebuilding. Really interesting that you were the ones that posted his video yesterday -- more behind the scenes on that would be interesting. Oddly, the views on that video haven't picked up much, and it's not easy to find via a search yet. Four years ago, Edwards announced on the Daily Show -- now he's announcing on YouTube -- you'd think that YouTube would seize on this and promote it on their front page.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: John Edwards to Run for President (announcement on YouTube)
I never said anything about ideological biases in the media one way or another. The major sources of news are, for the most part, conduits for what they can get. The current series of political strategists for the right are, however, masters of the echo chamber effect in ways that the political strategists for the left are not. It's a simple fact that anyone facing a Rove-assisted politician will face an echo chamber. It's his primary weapon, above everything else. You are right that it's about taking the offensive. That's why I don't think Edwards can win. His weak points are already known and ripe for the punching, and as much as he wants to counterpunch, he's not going to be able to aim for soft spots.

[videoblogging] Re: John Edwards to Run for President (announcement on YouTube)
I really think it's fantastic that Edwards' campaign had the forethought to include Rocketboom and Robert Scoble in their campaign launch activities. And, I don't knock Rocketboom at all for trying to maximize this high profile opportunity. I'm a long-time viewer who roots for all the vlogger OGs. However, I do wonder about the implications of a media company (Rocketboom) filming what is paramount to a campaign ad for a presidential candidate and then being the ones who actually physically post the clip to the official campaign account on YouTube. This is then followed up by a friendly interview with the candidate posted to Rocketboom today. Which will then be followed by Rocketboom producing Edwards footage to be used on the campaign's Web site. After thinking about this for a night, I suppose Rocketboom should be able to do whatever it wants and not be constricted by old-school journalistic rules of engagement with public officials. That said, if you change the rules, you should attempt to be clear about what the new ones are (or, at least, what you strive for). You just can't make them up as you go along for too long. Therefore, is Rocketboom going to be working with the Edwards campaign for the long-haul? (Which would make it very easy for their viewers to filter the opinions on the show. It would also help prevent snarky comments from bloggers like me who intuitively assume that journalistic interactions with a presidential candidate are striving for objectivity). Or is Rocketboom going to provide equal access and their production support to any presidential candidate who asks? Knowing the above answers would provide substantial context to any viewer who may happen upon the Rocketboom interview with Edwards today.

Final Cut Pro (and I believe Final Cut Express) has great color correction tools that I usually use to make two videos of the same event shot on different cameras look like they came from the same camera.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: John Edwards to Run for President (announcement on YouTube)
Imagine all the people living life in peace? I won't profess to know what elections would look like under your hypothetical model. I'm not concerned with the hypothetical. Nor does any of this have anything to do with my original statement, which is that I perceive John Edwards as being cannon fodder in the upcoming election. I wish him well. I like the guy. I just think that, should he survive the primaries, he won't survive the shooting gallery waiting for him. I also do believe that Internet-based media and online small-donation funding will play a role in the upcoming election. I just happen to not believe that the grassroots is sufficient today to overcome the kind of dialog control that America's right executes. Furthermore, I'm in Internet video because it's an alternative to film school that I can afford (in terms of both time and money). If and when I make something that voices the previously unvoiced, that's good, and I am grateful for the opportunity, but I'm not interested in revolutions. I'm not interested in what ought to be. My interests are in what lies before us right now and how to deal with it. I'm also not interested in being told what I should personally be doing. I'm glad you're out there living and speaking your truth, but the truth I'm interested in is the immediate and quantifiable. -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/freetime Imagine if Campaigning+MSMcoverage+NetworkTV were disallowed? [...] The system and foundation must change for elections at some point in the next 50 years. Not enough attention is on the proper type of reforms needed. That should be one of the next revolutions that YOU should be getting involved with. In the mean time, let's hope that the supplemental sources of communication that we have today such as net video, audio, blogging and online crowdfunding systems help make at least a bit of difference in 2008. sull

Heres a different but vaguely related thing thats happening in the UK: Meet the new gang - same as the old gang http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/12/28/british_political_blogging/ Heres how the article starts: Comment: The internet has always offered a stage for dramatic reinvention. Corporate lobbyists have found it a suitable theatre for AstroTurfing, given the willingness of a net audience to suspend its disbelief. Now, internet television lets professional politicians play the role of citizen-reporter. 18DoughtyStreet Talk TV launched in October as Britain's first political internet TV channel. It describes itself as an anti-establishment TV station on the internet with citizen journalist reporters who will be championing rebel opinions and constantly questioning authority. But its five directors are all former Conservative candidates or employees and it advertised for staff in America with the claim that it would be Like Fox News. 18DoughtyStreet streams up to five hours a night of political chat (talk radio for the eyes) untroubled by Ofcom regulations that require due impartiality from broadcasters. And it is not subject to Ofcom's Broadcasting Code that states, No politician may be used as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter in any news programmes unless, exceptionally, it is editorially justified. In that case, the political allegiance of that person must be made clear to the audience. Personally I believe in as much new freedom as possible, the emphasis should be on openness so that people are fully informed about those who are delivering the message, there shouldnt be any steps taken to ban them from spreading their message.

Edwards announcemnet from the 9th ward New orleans is rather infuriating, but not surprising. What relationship did he have to that area prior to USING it as photo op? Has he done anything to help the people of the area? other than lipservice? I don't know maybe he has; but I have not seen or heard or any REAL aid coming outa his corner. Also, in his last bid for the nomination he had people who were passing out copies of his voting record on drug war issues ARRESTED outside of one speaking engagemnet. So to me he seems like a slick smiling 2 faced... politician. not suited for public office, but a great candidate.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: John Edwards to Run for President (announcement on YouTube)
First post! (Be gentle...) I couldn't resist responding to the Edwards comments But I promise there's some material about videoblogging in here. Edwards gives a great stump speech. Don't write him off if you haven't seen him speak. Also, the new primary schedule is said to favor Edwards -- he's strong in Nevada, and should do well in the South (his home territory). The fundamental question I have is how he'd handle another Rove-run campaign. Rove said he'd retired before the 2008 campaign. Even then, the Rove-led campaigns only won by 400 votes in Florida in 2000, and 100,000 in Ohio in 2004. (And the incumbent is always expected to win re-election except in times of national crisis.) It's a simple fact that anyone facing a Rove-assisted politician will face an echo chamber. The echo chamber is powerful - but I think it's equally effective against new and old candidates. Also, that echo chamber effect didn't help in the 2006 elections. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's power is weakening; or it doesn't work when there are legitimate widespread grievances; or maybe online activism has just grown enough to counter it. The key issue in November was said to be Iraq, which could still be a key issue in 2008. I'd love to see some videoblogging from Iraq, or even the Middle East. Even some college kid's summer vacation four years, giving his enemies plenty of time and opportunity to find all his weak spots. Not necessarily. It's possible to talk about the same topics to different groups of people for four years (without revealing any weak spots). And for that matter, you build up support over the four years. Would it really be better to have a candidate who hadn't been on the trail for four years, simply because this stealthiness robs the opponent of potential attacks? Imagine if instead every registered voter got an official campaign DVD The same videos could be uploaded to YouTube. (Most campaign ads were uploaded to YouTube during November's campaign.) Maybe in 2008 candidates will consider videos produced specifically for the web. (Unless they're afraid this will give too many specifics on their positions to their opponents.) But it does seem like there's an opportunity there for videobloggers - especially during the primaries - to pester as many candidates as they can for an interview. (Or do what Hunter S. Thompson did - pick one candidate you like, and follow him everywhere.) We've already seen Firedoglake following the Joe Lieberman campaign. (Or were they just posting video footage shot by other people?) And the media tends to forget that the Macaca comment was directed at someone who'd been videotaping Senator Allen's appearances. I think the Mark Foley scandal is just proof that politicians are used to working in the insulated world of D.C., and haven't grasped how many new information outlets there are. That create an opportunity for videobloggers - if they can just come up with a vision for what they want to accomplish. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Also, the new primary schedule is said to favor Edwards -- he's strong in Nevada, and should do well in the South (his home territory). Taken solely on his merits, I like Edwards pretty well. I liked him a lot more than I ever liked Kerry. I'm also not questioning his ability to slog through the primaries with a win, even if he's up against someone like Hillary Clinton. Rove said he'd retired before the 2008 campaign. People say a lot of things. Bush said he was keeping Rumsfeld forever, too. If it's not Rove himself, then it's someone who's a whiz with the resources Rove built. The weapons will be the same, even if the wielder is different. Even then, the Rove-led campaigns only won by 400 votes in Florida in 2000, and 100,000 in Ohio in 2004. (And the incumbent is always expected to win re-election except in times of national crisis.) That's true, but the first race was narrowly besting a VP of one of the most popular Presidents who'd been in office during an amazing period of prosperity while the second race was narrowly besting the inheritor of the anti-Iraq voting base, which a mere two years later is the major demographic in America. Rove pulled off narrow wins, but if I barely beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match, I'd still be a hell of a boxer. The echo chamber is powerful - but I think it's equally effective against new and old candidates. Edwards' newness wasn't the question here. The media echo chamber works against anyone at any time, provided you can get it revved up and working. In the case of Edwards versus Rich Dullwasp (my default Republican Joe Schmoe), Dullwasp has something Edwards doesn't-- Edwards' dirty laundry from 2004. That means, if he's got the Rove-ian echo chamber, he can pick the things that are going to echo. Also, that echo chamber effect didn't help in the 2006 elections. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's power is weakening; or it doesn't work when there are legitimate widespread grievances; or maybe online activism has just grown enough to counter it. In my opinion, it's because you can't use the echo chamber to quash a story; merely to direct away from it. A mixture of a Republican-led Congress and the Rove-ian echo chamber kept Plamegate and Abramoff from becoming big stories, because nothing actionable really happened and there was always Iraq to get back to. The Foley scandal was something else entirely, though, and the American love for the spectacle of gay affairs wouldn't let the story get misdirected. I'm with Rove on this one-- the election was the Republicans' to win, and a set of very bright scandals took a beat away from the Republicans and let the Democrats play the anti-corruption card. The name of the game was October Surprise, Shitstorm Edition. Not necessarily. It's possible to talk about the same topics to different groups of people for four years (without revealing any weak spots). And for that matter, you build up support over the four years.

I'm not a political strategist, so I don't have the capacity to answer that question. And I wasn't saying that Edwards had revealed new weak spots. I think that all of his old ones are still there, since you can't change the past, and that just means that the researchers at the Department of Mudslinging get to start early. The same videos could be uploaded to YouTube. (Most campaign ads were uploaded to YouTube during November's campaign.) Maybe in 2008 candidates will consider videos produced specifically for the web. (Unless they're afraid this will give too many specifics on their positions to their opponents.) No doubt, somebody will, and I predict right now that it won't make all that much difference. We've already seen Firedoglake following the Joe Lieberman campaign. (Or were they just posting video footage shot by other people?) And the media tends to forget that the Macaca comment was directed at someone who'd been videotaping Senator Allen's appearances. Right, but the videoblogging community seems to forget that the Macaca blunder would have just been a ripple in the blogosphere if it hadn't made it on to traditional media outlets. Likewise, I don't think this works in reverse. The Macaca heard round the world was proof that a well-spread political blunder can make it on the evening news and discredit a candidate. Nobody has, to date, shown a cadidate's footage starting on YouTube (or anywhere on the Web) and it becomes a significant feather in his/her cap. There's been an assumption that this works both ways. I remain skeptical, which is to say that I'm waiting to see if this ever happens. -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/freetime

[videoblogging] Re: John Edwards to Run for President (announcement on YouTube)
Yes, more footage coming from NOLA. This day began for the Edwards entourage in the early wee hours, in the devastated 9th ward of New Orleans. From there it was on to Des Moines Iowa for a town hall meeting and blogger meetup, and now I'm in New Hampshire about to crash after a totally surreal day that feels like 3 days. (3 awesome days!) The announcement was your typical press event, my camera had nothing unique to offer. So I interviewed Scoble on how he got involved and what he thought of the whole thing and the process. I interviewed a vlogger from North Carolina who was invited by the Edwards folks and was very excited to be there. Lastly I found some church volunteers down the block from all the Edwards hoopla, where the real work was going on -- they were gutting a house of all it's moldy exoskeleton. They were working like mad ripping it up, finding some remnants of the owner (beads, a moldy bible). The guy giving me the tour was a big Rocketboom fan which I did not expect! For what it's worth I'm convinced Edwards is a passionate, smart, authentic person who would make a great president. He has some people on his team I interviewed 3 years ago -- the people who made the Dean campaign legendary for its use of technology to engage and make the campaign people powered. But now, it's evolved to include video and frankly there's a better candidate. cheers, chuck I've got a few bad phonecam photos and thoughts on my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/blogumentary/ --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, T Shey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What was it like for you all to visit New Orleans? Any plans to post more footage from your trip, there or on Chuck's site? Ten years ago I was spending a lot of time in the ninth ward, and would love to see more accounts of how people are rebuilding. Really interesting that you were the ones that posted his video yesterday -- more behind the scenes on that would be interesting. Oddly, the views on that video haven't picked up much, and it's not easy to find via a search yet. Four years ago, Edwards announced on the Daily Show -- now he's announcing on YouTube -- you'd think that YouTube would seize on this and promote it on their front page.
