Howdy all, I have been reminded to let this forum know when 3RRR's Byte Into It <URL:http://www.rrr.org.au/program/byte-into-it/> features discussions of interest to free software advocates.
On Wednesday 2012-05-30, the show included discussion about ownCloud <URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OwnCloud>, its latest release <URL:http://owncloud.org/owncloud-4-release-annoucement/>, and further exploring how software freedom is affected by cloud computing. We had an interview with Senator Scott Ludlum. He is a Greens senator who has been vocal about the need for Australian federal government to protect the legal rights of Julian Assange, whose extradition hearing was yesterday – yet Assange wasn't even in the court for any of it! (Rallies this afternoon have been arranged around the world, including in Melbourne <URL:http://justice4assange.com/Action.html>.) We also talked about the resurrection of the Internet Underground Music Archive, by scraping the web to find traces of it – which couldn't be done if people respected current copyright restrictions. The show is available for download at <URL:http://rrrfm.libsyn.com/webpage/byte-into-it-30-may-2012>. -- \ “[Entrenched media corporations will] maintain the status quo, | `\ or die trying.
