I'm wondering things like will each program have an RSS feed so that I can download them in ant and watch them on my own schedule rather than a set programming schedule and how would each episode be licensed? For example, the in brief video was really great ...if I wanted toinclude thatvidon my site or in my feed to help spread the word ... well I wouldn't normally want to do that unless it was stated somewhere that that right was granted. Or, once they are fully operational if a 30sec clip from one of their shows inspires me to action ... am I free to use that clip? etc etc IWT is very much based upon open information sharing. Take anything you wish and re-broadcast it on your blog. They're not scheduled to go on-air until 2007, so any publicity is good publicity. There are no visible licenses as far as I can see, but from talking to a couple people there I assure you that you will not be sued for copyright infringement for stealing a video from the site.

The situation is no better in Italy, where the three state TV channels (and their news organizations) are controlled by whoever's in the government, currently Silvio Berlusconi. Italy's 3 major independent TV channels are also owned and controlled by - Silvio Berlusconi.

[videoblogging] Independent World Television
Americans, please watch this: http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/laura_flanders Most Americans (not you guys, of course) probably don't realize how much of the news they hear/see/read is dictated by the advertisers. I'm not sure if this applies as much to other countries, where the news channels are publicly owned entities and do not subsist on advertising revenues. Correct me if I'm wrong. Here's some more links: IWTnews VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS Pamela de Maigret, journalist, film-maker and Republican activist: I think you have to ask the question, do we have free elections in this country?
