And although Current promised to hire hundreds of digital
correspondents, contributors must now sign on as free-lancers, who
get neither salary nor benefits. In frustration with Current's tight
controls, Josh Wolf, 23, a filmmaker and volunteer organizer for
Current's San Francisco "meet-up group," at which digital artists
view and critique one another's videos, launched his own alternative
to Current. Called the Rise Up Network, the collective of video
makers is creating a website on which anyone can feature his or her
own videos. "A lot of people feel disaffected," he says.
