Check out “EEPI” ( http://www.eepi.org ), a new initiative aimed at fostering cooperation in the areas of electronic entertainment and its many associated issues, problems, and impacts.
Lauren Weinstein and Thane Tierney have teamed up in this effort to find cooperative solutions to technical, legal, policy, and other issues relating to the vast and growing range of electronic technologies that are crucial to the entertainment industry, but that also impact other industries, interest groups, individuals, and society in major ways.

There are many interested parties, including record labels, film studios, the RIAA, the MPAA, artists, consumers, intellectual freedom advocates, broadcasters, manufacturers, legislators, regulators, and a multitude of others. The issues cover an enormous gamut from DVDs, CDs, and piracy issues to multimedia cell phones, from digital video recorders
to Internet file sharing/P2P, from digital TV and the “broadcast flag” to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
and “fair use” controversies.

By working together, rather than fighting each other, perhaps we can all find some broadly acceptable paths that will be of benefit to everyone.

For more information, please see the EEPI web site

A moderated public discussion list and an EEPI announcement list are now available at the site.

The BBC brings an example from Austria where Telekom Austria’s Aon TV has enabled residents of a small town to create their own broadband news station.

Two things I wonder - how much training and promotion was necessary to get this off the ground and how long will it last (it started at the end of 2004).

A strong libertarian strain persists among parts of the US ‘digerati’. This manifests itself problematically when it comes to issues around hate speech. By an odd coincidence this issue popped up twice for me today. Google News somehow managed to list National Vanguard (a nasty neo-fascist rag) as a news source and has now removed it. And I was surprised when I looked at the rules for submitting content to Ourmedia the other day that pornography (not defined) is banned while no rules govern hate speech. When I raised the issue, I was told by one of the site’s creators that they, “don’t want to be in the business of deciding what constitutes hate speech” (though they are apparently happy to decide what constitutes porn).

It would be nice to think that this won’t turn out to be a problem for them but I fear sooner or later it will. I have urged them to reconsider and at least introduce some tagging system for their content - not because I am worried myself about harmful media effects but because, as I said, “I worry that if teachers and librarians have no way of “protecting” kids from content that might offend those kids’ parents, they will not direct them to ourmedia and indeed might end up blocking access to it.”

Ourmedia (a spin-off of the Internet Archive) has just launched. This is a hugely ambitious project that the brilliant head of the Archive, Brewster Kahle, alluded to a year ago in a Notcon talk I blogged about. It has been spearheaded by J D Lasica and Marc Canter.

Their intention is to provide a place for anyone who has any kind of digital content to post it publicly, have it indexed, stored and made available online forever, for free, no matter how much of it there is. The price of camcorders has declined steadily and it is reasonably easy to turn video footage into digital files on recently-bought computers. But until now there has been no easy way for people to get their video stored unless they have connections to some kind of digital art organizations or can afford to pay - this is because each minute of full-screen video takes roughly 8Mb of space to store and streaming video over the Internet is a costly business. (Several commercial companies have come and gone offering some kind of video streaming for consumers - Streamload is one of the few I have found still around with a good free offering).

Flickr (which has just been bought by Yahoo) has already demonstrated that providing an environment where people can share picture content and easily form communities around it can enable fascinating and stimulating creative and social activity. Ourmedia lacks Flickr’s interface slickness (it is still in alpha, despite launching today) but it adds audio and video storage to Flickr’s pictures and text and while Flickr has a free offering it is not as capable as their paid subscription features.

With this service, one of the last technical/economic barriers to widespread personal Internet video broadcasting has disappeared. But broadband is still vital for uploading video files and almost as essential for viewing them - and only around 150m households worldwide have broadband.

The biggest overall barrier, however, remains a knowledge barrier. While on the surface using a video camera is simple - just point and shoot - understanding how to do it well to tell a story remains an art. And the software tools for video production available on computers remain difficult to use and time consuming. My father just finished producing a short video of our wedding but it took him two years to complete and a lot of frustration.

I have made an account on Ourmedia but I don’t know what I will do with it yet.

Finally someone from the mainstream media (Steven Levy) asks this obvious question. He gets part of the answer - bloggers tend to link to people like themselves - but tacitly assumes that there are a large number of (for example) black women blogging about the same kinds of things that the leading (white male) bloggers are and being excluded.

This misses the wider point that sociologists like Bourdieu have explored - that many people - particularly those of lower social status or women - may simply never think of political discussion as something ‘for them’ either because they don’t see politics as relevant to them or because they feel their opinions would not be listened to.

Needless to say this has touched off a lot of discussion including a spectacularly over the top and sociologically uninformed contribution from one A list blogger.

I logged onto BBC News this morning and found that an iCan story about a community centre had been picked up and featured on the front page - albeit at the bottom right hand corner. I always said that iCan (a BBC project to encourage and facilitate online activism) would only take off if the BBC used its media muscle to highlight cases drawn from it where ‘ordinary people’ made a difference. Looks like this is finally happening (on a small scale).

It will be interesting to see what they do with iCan as it gets close to the election and if people start using it for party political issues…

Joe Krauss, who co-founded Excite, reveals that although the top 10 searches on Excite were made much more often than any other searches, they only represented 3% of the total searches made that day. In other words - power laws notwithstanding - most searches are the only search made with that term or set of terms on that day. There really is a huge variety in what people look for online.

Of course what isn’t clear is how much diversity there would be if you clustered searches by theme (eg what proportion of all searches are about sex in some form or another). For more about how the Internet makes it possible to address the diverse interests of people as well as their “mass” interests, see this blog post I made earlier.
