Re: nettime a free letter to cultural institutions

Great examples from Florian Cramer. Having run an indie record company and music publishing house for 32 years, I could add that punk attitude is something that extends far beyond any musical genre (punk included) and that incorporates a disdain from any representative of jurisprudence. The latter

Re: nettime Copyright Is Over - If You Want I

Forgive me, but it seems to me the work did not steal anything from you. It was rather your own behaviour in the face of authority that caused your frustration. Why did you let a sign and a security guard stop you? Again (like in last month's discussion), to me what is required to enjoy a bootleg

Thank you kindly for the translation. I have worked as a computational epidemiologist for almost ten years now, in Europe and in the Middle East, and I have tried not to contribute to the dichotomy outlined (reality vs. disaster movie) but it is very hard. The reason is not media, for once. I

Re: Vice > Peter Sunde > I Have Given Up

Last week Peter also announced his new art project, the Kopimashin, which copies a song about eight million times in a day, creating huge losses (sic) for the music industry: The Kopimashin creates an endless amount of copies of a specific audio track (gnarls barkleyâs crazy). The

Re: The Five Minutes App

Restating what you call obvious in hype terms: on the voice app market, Amazon's Alexa is leading the race and this market is estimated to billions, with Google and Microsoft tailing. This is sold as getting rid of the keyboard and mouse, which surely never were much good to us for communication

Re: Spotify Threatened Researchers Who Revealed ‘Pirate’ History

Most importantly, I can confirm the pirating part as I was using the Beta, and thought at the time it was a cool thing to do. Unlike Fleischer, I did not have my own music or stuff I produced pirated, but looking at the money I get from plays it would not have mattered much to the economy of my

Re: China needs more water. So it's building a rain-making network three times the size of Spain

So a relatively small number of researchers, one of which reports "promising results" to a Chinese journalist, and all of which are at best mediocre in the field, is paving the way for an installation of Tibet-placed burners for cloud seeding. How are we to trust the Chinese government with
