Hmm. I missed that piece of news before. Otherwise, I would have agreed with Jarod. I've never felt sure about the gray areas in this one.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Not something to celebrate
Okay... let's count the things I have to worry about as a blogger: - saying something that will piss off some religious nut (pick your flavor - I despise them all) and cause someone to call for my death - saying something or allowing something to be said on my blog which could lead to lawsuits for libel, slander, etc. - saying something that will later be raked up and used against me should I ever decide to run for public office (whoops - blew that one ages ago) - appearing to have video or anything else that someone in authority thinks might possibly provide evidence of crimes they're not even sure occurred, but would surely like to know about if they did - in Italy, saying something that could be construed as an offense against any religion (see http://www.beginningwithi.com/italy/living/opinion.html ) Uh, what were we saying about new media and the Internet giving us all freedom to express ourselves...?

This is the fact that should relieve any worry that Josh is just some anarchist that some like to peg him as. he's willing to show the judge the video, but not release it to the authorities who will use it to identify protestors. Unfortunately, the Federal prosecutor had no idea it would snowball like this. read the article. Its really interesting. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/02/06/BAGK7NVAV91.DTL The SF Chronicle really puts Josh's case in context of present times and past legal cases.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Not something to celebrate
Yeah, the Chron article is good. The important thing besides increasing pressure to release Josh is to pass a federal shield law. There is a link here for people in California to send email calling for a federal shield law which covers all journalists (there is another version which would not protect bloggers) http://www.media-alliance.org/article.php?story=20060929165333440 Josh is also interviewed as part of the Frontline News Wars series which begins on feb. 13. He is on the Feb. 20 episode. The Feb. 27 episode will cover online media and Frontline/World in March will profile OhMyNews and Al Jazeera. They have a preview site up which is pulling in blog posts on these issues. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newswar/preview/ This is a set of photos I took at the press conference on Josh as well as some photos of him from before he went to jail. http://flickr.com/photos/ari/sets/72157594522187660/ -- Steve Rhodes http://ari.typepad.com http://tigerbeat.vox.com blogs http://flickr.com/photos/ari/ photos http://del.icio.us/tigerbeat interesting articles sites [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
