Zucker, Nokia - Thierry Michel, W3C. Abstract This document specifies the third version of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced smile). SMIL 3.0 has the following design goals: * Define an XML-based language that allows authors to write interactive multimedia presentations. Using SMIL, an author may describe the temporal behaviour of a multimedia presentation, associate hyperlinks with media objects and describe the layout of the presentation on a screen. * Allow reusing of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages, in particular those who need to represent timing and synchronization. For example, SMIL components are used for integrating timing into XHTML [XHTML10] and into SVG [SVG]. * Extend the functionalities contained in the SMIL 2.1 [SMIL21] into new or revised SMIL 3.0 modules. * Define new SMIL 3.0 Profiles incorporating features useful within the industry. Status of this document [excerpts] This document has been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other W3C groups and interested parties, and is endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited from another document. W3C's role in making the Recommendation is to draw attention to the specification and to promote its widespread deployment. This enhances the functionality and interoperability of the Web. This SMIL 3.0 edition is a new version, it extends the functionalities contained in SMIL 2.1 [SMIL21], incorporating new features useful within the industry. This SMIL3.0 W3C Recommendation supersedes the 13 December 2005 SMIL 21 Recommendation [SMIL21]. The SMIL 3.0 test suite along with an implementation report are publicly released and are intended solely to be used as proof of SMIL 3.0 implementability. It is only a snapshot of the actual implementation behaviors at one moment of time, as these implementations may not be immediately available to the public. The interoperability data is not intended to be used for assessing or grading the performance of any individual implementation. This document has been produced by the SYMM Working Group as part of the W3C Synchronized Multimedia Activity, following the procedures set out for the W3C Process. The goals of the SYMM Working Group are discussed in the SYMM Working Group Charter. The authors of this document are the SYMM Working Group members. Different parts of the document have different editors. Please report errors in this document to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (public archives) including the prefix '[SMIL30 REC]' in the subject line.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Ideology
Hey Steve, I looked at this a little closer... http://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2 There's some criticisms I have about it. (This is of course assuming I'm understanding it correctly. Feel free to point out any problems in my reasoning.) Criticism #1: I don't think the 2 properties that make up the axises of the graph are orthogonal concepts. For example, you cannot have a regulated economy unless you authoritarianism. Therefore, there cannot be anything in the bottom left quadrant. (And thus, any philosophy that says it has a regulated economy without authoritarianism has a contradiction.) Criticism #2: The graph places Fascism right at the top of the graph, implying it is the exactly the same thing as authoritarianism. This may be how many people use the word Fascism today. But it is not what Fascism meant 60 years ago. (Which is what we are arguing here. I.e., we are arguing if what is called Progressivism today is very much like what was called Fascism 60 years ago.)

From what I know of your political and economic views, I guess you are in the purple square. My disagreement with you is that it sounds like you think hitler belongs in the red square, when in reality the nazis were not that far to the left on the economics at all. Stalin was in the red square. So the communists and the nazis shared a similar level of authoritarianism, but not economics. I am in the green square, tired of watching the blue square in power, but most certainly not liking the looks of the red square or the purple square. I presume that forthcoming economic, resource, environmental and political woes for the globe, will see an increasing return of people supporting political positions outside the blue square. If it was tempting to think that old politics was over, that everyone was crowding on the center-ground, in recent decades, I think that will quickly come undone and there will be even more mess. Harsh economic realities have already forced the UK government to nationalise a bank, when even the mere utterance of the word nationalisation has been a deadly political sin here for 3 decades.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Ideology
, many people will make that argument. Again, I wasn't making an argument for the Neocons. The discussion just didn't go there at the time. Google the 14 points of fascism. That's some interesting reading. Find out if it's the left, or the right that's pushing us towards that end. Screw it... Here they are: 1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism 2. Disdain for the importance of human rights 3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause 4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism 5. Rampant sexism 6. A controlled mass media 7. Obsession with national security 8. Religion and ruling elite tied together 9. Power of corporations protected 10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated 11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts 12. Obsession with crime and punishment 13. Rampant cronyism and corruption 14. Fraudulent elections These may be properties that Nazi Germany had. But this is not a definition of Fascism as I know it. Wow it looks like the Republican Party Platform, doesn't it? I'd agree. Again, not arguing for the Neocons. So, tell me once again that Progressives, that Liberals, are Fascists. That's crazy talk, man. Crazy... OK From what I can tell, what people are currently calling Progressivism is virtually the same as Fascism :-) But don't take any of what I said as an argument for the Neocons. It's not. The Neocons have many similarities with Nazi's. And the Neocons aren't Conservatives. But that's has nothing to do with what Progressivism is or isn't.

[videoblogging] Time to Play stats? (Flash vs QuickTime vs Java vs Ogg vs...)
Hello, I call the time it takes to start playing a video, from the point you start loading a webpage (with video on it) the time to play. It's an important stat for a number of reasons... Usability being one of them. But not the only one. Has anyone collected any kind of stats on the time to play for different kinds of video technology? Different browser? Different operating systems? Different CPU speeds? Different memory sizes? Etc? With different video types? Or different video playing architecture? (Obviously, to make the stats meaningful to compare, the server end would have to be the same for each test. Also things like the width and height of the video across tests would need to be the same.) So... for example... - The time to play for Flash video player using the VP6 codec on Firefox on a computer with 1GB of memory. - The time to play for a QuickTime video using the H.264 codec on Opera on a computer with 1GB of memory. - The time to play for Ogg video played with the Cortado video player on IE7 on a computer with 1GB of memory - Etc If anyone has collected this kind of information, I'd be really interested in seeing it.

I don't know if seeing you ahead of time is always a good idea. You may get people judging you just based on your looks. I work in a field that requires a high degree of knowledge of Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering. And people in the field are judging you on your intelligence. I tend to get the same reaction from people who have never talked to me. I don't look smart apparently. What I get most people saying is that I look more like a bouncer or personal trainer. (And apparently that means not looking smart.) But if the first time they see you is when they see you face-to-face, then you have a chance to impress them with what you say and how you answer their questions.

The application enables users to create different messages for different days, different platforms or different blogs. Everything is customizable including the video wrapper look and feel as well as feeds in and around the wrapper. A unique approach that helps personalizes the social web. Now imagine an inventory of different wrappers and the ability to change up the wrapper and the video message as often as you'd like. 1.. Imagine when people land on your profile your there to personally announce yourself and new things your involved with or looking for. 2.. Imagine delivering news about yourself or your company wrapped in a screen that looks like Fox News or CNN 3.. Imagine having a screen wrap with your company logo and image and talking about what your company provides or the special news about your company. 4.. Imagine selling your profile intro within the virtual space to a sponsor or advertiser. 5.. Imagine being able to broadcast anything, everything and doing so everywhere, blogs, profiles etc. with different messages and different wrappers and you have totally control over the content, length, style, message and frequency. 6.. Imagine telling the world about you and giving them the next dimension of interaction and human touch...imagine no further. Self expression has become the storm created by the masses. The movement is now shifting forward with the introduction of GoYoDeo, a multimedia tool that enhances self expression beyond simply text and images. GoYoDeo enables users, marketers, business to create and super impose an interactive audio and video message over social network profiles, blogs, Wiki's and every kind of social media within the landscape of the social web. GoYoDeo enables users, businesses and media to create their own interactive multimedia message on the fly and use the tool as both a broadcasting medium of introduction or promotion throughout the social web. The GoYoDeo utility is easy to use and anyone can upload customized messages wrapped in a container that suits their style, their message, the platform of use or the community image.

Re: [videoblogging] Recording users movements
Hey Jay, This is part of the reason that I was arguing before that the vPIP share code should be an iframe. And not a collection of script's and other kinds of code. For security and privacy reasons, alot of publishers have a policy of not allowing code from anyone unless it is an iframe. (Well, not unless you have some kind of legal agreement between you and them where you can be held legally liable.) The only reasons things like embed and object tags are popular as video share code right now, is because of YouTube. And the only reason YouTube uses that is because of MySpace. (MySpace blocked iframe's, but allowed embed's.) And, AFAIK, the only reason MySpace blocked usage of iframe's, but allowed embed's, was to prevent people from easily putting good advertising code on MySpace. IMO, using iframe's as share code is much better, and will make it more likely that you videos will get embedded on other sites especially the sites that are run by big companies. -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. http://ChangeLog.ca/ Motorsport Videos http://TireBiterZ.com/ Vlog Razor...

But the info can be useful. BUT... As a personal policy just assume any site you go on it completely tracking you. If you don't trust them with something, then don't do anything that gives them that info. They can promise you the world... but in the end, they could always lie. Also... in a big company... there's thousands of people there. How is one person suppose to guarantee you the actions of others. For example I assume Google is reading all my e-mail in my GMail account and I don't use GMail for things I don't want Google to read.

Re: [videoblogging] tagging posts in wordpress question
There's a comment on the issue. ATM, I don't have time to create an account there (so I can comment)... so... you might want to tell the person there that.. The WordPress internal slug is relevant to the rel-tag Microformat because the internal slug appear in the URL used for the tag page. For example, with the URL... http://example.com/tag/internet-tv ... the internal slug name is internet-tv... BUT... the rel-tag Microformat (and thus Technorati) will take internet-tv to be the tag too! Which is the problem. The URL used for the tag page should be... http://example.com/tag/internet+tv or http://example.com/tag/internet%20tv for it to work properly. -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. http://ChangeLog.ca/ Motorsport Videos http://TireBiterZ.com/ Vlog Razor...

And when they flip, they wonder what they did wrong... It's all about usability testing!!! Put yourself in the shoes of the end-user and see if you will resonate to the existing video ad approaches. Big advertising platform creators like Maven networks and Move networks have it tailored for huge Fox-like corporations to be smoothly transforming their traditional TV content to the web. However, there's no company with a practical solution that does that for the independent producers. Does that mean that the future of online video advertising is only for the established TV brands? Why can't independent content producers establish an alliance that works with advertisers directly? There needs to be an RSS video ad approach for this to work. If there's any Adobe Flex programmers reading this they should take notice that this is where online video can prosper benefiting all. Similar to Google's Adwords this RSS feed would automatically embed itself to the most watched episode of an online show, hence advertisers are happy that the ad is seen by many. Also URL hotspots in the video is also essential for product placement for new tab opening when the end-user clicks on it. What are your thoughts on this? Take this from someone who was the principal software engineer at an online advertising network for 3+ years and someone played most the roles of this take this as advice from the engineer creating this technology... from a publisher selling ads on his sites... from an advertiser creating ads and finding places to put those ads... and to some degree (from daily observation of my former co-workers)... from a sales person dealing with advertisers... and a business development person attracting publishers. AND not someone who's just rambling and giving advice about something he doesn't know anything about. ATTRACTING ADVERTISERS Create an advertise here page on your video blog. And make sure potential advertisers can find it and get to it. (There is alot that can be said about this... but to make it so my reply isn't too long, I'll keep this brief.) OK... so you want to get advertisers?! Have you told them how to contact you? Have you even told them you are accepting advertisers? Do you provide information about how you sell advertising? (CPM? CPT? CPC? CPA? Etc?) What about how much you charge? The minimum you should probably do is create an advertise here page giving this kind of information. (You probably want to keep SEO and other promotion techniques in mind for this page too when creating it.) Ideally though you'd have more than just an advertise here page... and have a self serve (and automated) system where people could pay you money online and see their ad get scheduled to come up right there and then. (All automated without them having to wait, and without you necessarily having to do much anything... other than quality control, fraud detection, etc.) Really though... if you really want to get advertisers... I strongly suggest you get sales people. They can really help But, I know... I know. How can you afford one?. if you can't afford one by yourself, then team up with other people and get some. Get enough people and you should be able to afford some sales people. But make sure the people you team up with make your combined offering attractive to advertisers. Either make it so your combined content could be considered to be about the same thing to advertisers... or where your audience is very very similar (according to the metrics advertisers use). Additionally, teaming up with other advertisers can help you sell your ad space too. Many advertisers will consider most video bloggers to be way too small for them to bother with.

As far as the advertising platform, maybe even open-source, that I mentioned earlier about in this post, I have discovered that it is possible using Adobe Flex in tandem with Adobe LiveCycle. Imagine if there's an advertising platform out there, much like Google AdWords but for video, that allows independednt video producers to log-in to their accounts and choose what video ads are suitable for their show. On the other end, the advertising companies create their profiles on this platform and submit their 5-10 second video adds (also with ability to let the independent producers to create the ads for them). So the platform hosts the video ads and connects the advertisers with the independent producers. The producers get the Flash player with capabilities to display URL hotspots (product placement) and other features I mentioned, like RSS video ad insertion into episodes. Of course the platform also has to CDN host the footage of episodes. It seems that the most ideal company to come up with something like this is Blip. But they are sleeping. They seem to only want to connect the independent producers with pre/mid/post-roll video ads only if the episode reaches a certain number of views. What are your thoughts on this?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Interesting video interview about the future of online video advertising
. See my VideoPress Video Feeds plugins if you want to add MediaRSS to your WordPress-based Video Blog... http://changelog.ca/project/VideoPress_Video_Feeds ) The second problem is that the video is always prefetched. (So if you happened to get an ad in there somehow... it's probably very very old. Which is bad from an advertising point-of-view.) So... for the first problem... how do you get an ad in there? If we had playlists (like MediaRSS offers) then we'd be half way there. But without playlists we have to magically stitch the ad into the video blogger's video. This is something that's computationally intensive (especially in the online advertising environment where you may have to do this thousands of times a second!) which can bring difficulties in engineering the technology, which usually translates to higher costs. But if RSS playlist support was common, we could solve this problem. The second problem (which is equally important)... after we have playlists... the second problem is being able to control which video files get pre-fetched and which get downloaded at the last possible minute. (We could probably solve this HTTP headers... but software needs to follow these headers!) For ads... most the time, you want them downloaded ads at the last possible minute. But the parts of the actual show, it's OK to pre-fetch them. Now... to side step this 2 pronged RSS enclosure problem, you could not bother using the RSS enclosure and just send a Flash-based video player or a Java-based video player instead... but... that's not really video. And, although it may be a solution in the short term... it's going to cause us problems in the long run. So it's important to get this RSS enclosure, playlist, pre-fetching thing right now IMO.

Flash-delivered video (as you call it) is a *video player*. And thus is not video. I.e., Flash-delivered video is similar to the Windows Media Player, the QuickTime Player, VLC.

The FLV file that these Flash-based video players play are the videos. (But we may be just arguing semantics.) And... as far as blocking ads in playlists just mark some of the actual content to be downloaded at the last minute too (like the ads)... so that if the user automatically blocks anything that is marked to download at the last minute to block the ads... then they end up blocking parts of the content too which makes auto-ad-blockers software impossible. This doesn't stop them from fast-forwarding through the ad (which is fine... because if the user really doesn't watch that particular ad, then it's a bad idea to try to force them).

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Interesting video interview about the future of online video advertising
Although I haven't tested it myself yet, with iTunes you can already do playlists with SMIL embed inside of QuickTime files. (I.e., with SMILtext.) With Miro... it uses XiphQT. And XiphQT supports XSPF. And XSPF is a playlist format. So both iTunes and Miro already support playlists! As far as users just not downloading any video clip (in the playlist) less than 60 seconds long... just divide up all you content to less that 60 second long clips. (Or at least do this for significant chunks of your video.) That way this strategy won't work.

Non-browser video aggregators would need to be specially designed to support feeds with adverts in them, and if its done with open standards, its fairly trivial for people to use non-compliant aggregators that thwart the advertising. Whether that just means the users never click on the advert content to play it in the first place, or settings such as 'assume all content less than 60 seconds long in this feed is an ad', or users syncing only the main content with the device they want to watch the videos on, or others forms of playlist manipulation, it sure seems flawed to me. How are you going to get people to even use aggregators that support ads, when people have things like Miro and itunes they can use? Thats why I was placing emphasis on flash, because a flash app can act as an aggregator, using proprietary playlists or whatever behind the scenes, but without the user having the ability to plug those feeds into a player that does not honour the ad system.

The original company ends up shooting themselves in the foot and looses their business (unless they change their ways). However.. If a government provides a shitty service, what can we do about it? Nothing! And I know... people are going to say, well you can vote and change things. First, in my observation, voting rarely seems to change anything. But second... let's assume voting does change things... well you have to wait 4 years before you can affect any kind of change. And you get one shot at it. (We essentially have 4 year dictatorships.) That's NOT better than a free market. I think it's better to remove the regulations we have now that are (for all practical purposes) preventing new competitor ISP from arising.

Companies are always restricted by the marketplace unless they have government protection. Even a monopoly cannot charge infinite prices because there are always alternatives at hand. True, but even in the intro to economics class at business school, it's demonstrated that, in a monopoly market, the price and quantity produced are based entirely on the monopolist's ability to maximize price as a price setter. Without effective competition, utility is not maximized on the demand-side. This is an inefficiency. You can easily see this demonstrated in recent history with the Bell System. Bell is not an example of an entity in a free market. Bell obtained a government-enforced monopoly through the patent system and government regulations and licensing that (effectively) prevented other companies from entering the market to compete against Bell. In some countries (like in Europe), there were laws in place that mandated that only one specific company was allow to provide telephone services.

Re: [videoblogging] Comcast officially admits to throttling bandwidth use
The short answer yes... I believe there should be absolutely no criminalization due to Marijuana. Long answer I'm against the criminalization of Marijuana. And I see Marijuanas as being no different than Alcohol or Cigarettes. If you believe in personal liberty, then you cannot consider any kind of victim-less crime to be an instance where something wrong was done. In fact, if you believe in personal liberty, then the enforcement of any victim-less crime is a wrong act. Of course... you don't have to think this way. (I.e., you don't have to believe in liberty.) But if you do, then usage (or non-usage) of it is up to each person it's a personal decision. And addiction to any of those substances is a medical issue. And should never result in jail time. To be frank... I'm all for decriminalizing Marijuana... besides the issue of liberty and freedom... I believe that the main reason people are being murdered so much because Marijuana sale and grow-ups is a result of its criminalization. Consider Alcohol. How many people do you see getting murdered over the sale or production of Alcohol. (Basically zero!) Now look at how things were with Alcohol during the prohibition period it quite similar to how it is with Marijuana now.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Home grown blog (was TrafficGeyser.com)
If you want to make money off of your video blog, then you should start thinking about it like a business. Sometimes, it is more cost effective to just pay someone to do the work that either... you can't do... or is too difficult for you to do. (Sometimes even if you can do it... it's cheaper to pay someone else to do it, because you're time is better spent doing other things.) So, for example, you're a graphic designer. Great! Come up with a design. (That will save you having to pay someone $800+ to create a design for you.) Give that design to one of the companies out there that specialize in creating custom WordPress themes. (Depending on your design, you should be able to get it done for $400 to $600.) Then you're good to go! And you didn't have to spend all the time becoming a WordPress theme creator... when you didn't really want to... and all you really wanted to do is be a video blogger. -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. http://ChangeLog.ca/ Motorsport Videos http://TireBiterZ.com/ Vlog Razor...

I'm a graphic designer with intermediate web coding skills. I think most template hosted blogs (blogger, tumblr etc) look like crap. The artist in me wants bespoke design and I want it to look killer. Some of the really great looking blogs I visit all seem to be built on WordPress. I've tried hacking my Blogger CSS to dress up my blog but all I managed to do was create a pile of poo. Reverse engineering someone elses code is not my strong point. I fear going the WordPress route would be equally frustrating for me. So I was wondering if building a simple site in Dreamweaver using Templates would get me what I want. Until I thought about all the cool integration we get from web tools: cross posting, RSS, subscriptions etc. No way I could build all that into a site. And the manual labor it would take to manage this would be ridiculous. Barely have time to post what I have, and it's darn near automatic right now. Even thought about iWeb from Apple. It has blog building tools, but I'm guessing it is A) template based and B) relies on .Mac which I am not into.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Plugin for Video Comments
Actually I just remembered that I solved a problem similar to this when I was writing the VideoPress Video Embed plugin. The VideoPress Video Embed plugin provide code other people can use to embed your video on other people's pages. The thing is, I marked that embed code semantically with a videoembed class, so that videos could be embedded in an automated fashion. For example texarea class=videoembed...the embed code.../textarea or... div class=videoembed...the embed code.../div (This should be able to be easily added to vPIP's embed code system.) So... for a video comment... you could just look at the page that hit you with a pingback or trackback... and look for an HTML element with class=videoembed on it... and then #1 know that that page is/has a video... and #2 know how to put/embed that video on your page. Of course... with embedding... you'll have to be careful with what you allow to be embedded. But that's just a detail. (For example, you might want to not allow script tags or style tags, but allow embed and object or whatever.)

This cuts out the agency middle men...and all the high costs of promotion. Independent musicians can then hope to make a living by selling their own music and doing live performances. Reading the article, I wonder if you could apply the same logic to online video. Do independent video makers need to rely on advertising modelscontinuing the same relationship to a bloated middle man? Or will a different relationship develop between people watching and the people who make the stuff they want to watch? Does advertising necessarily mean there being a middle man?! I.e., does advertising really mean there has to be a middle man? Video markers could develop relations with advertisers themselves. Picking and choosing who they do and don't want to deal with.

Re: [videoblogging] CBS stole my videoblog? Help.
Hello, Yeah... Verdi is correct... you can't steal an idea. Stealing requires you to (literally) take away, that thing they are stealing, away from the person who owns it. It's not possible to (literally) take away an idea from someone. You still have it in your head. You could say they copied you though. (Although copying is a form of learning... and isn't a bad thing IMO. Despite how much it might suck for you.) Although... unfortunately... the USA does let people have monopolies on ideas. (And has made actual thought crimes.) USA Patent law and the DMCA now each give this. But even in these cases... it is NOT stealing. It is called infringing. See ya On 9/20/07, Michael Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Matt, Couple of things: You can't own an idea so they couldn't have stolen yours. Also, I doubt its anything more than a coincidence. It looks like it's been developed by an outside production company and CBS bought it. I don't think they typically do those things on the order of weeks - it's more like many months. As to what to do about it, I'd say, just do your thing and do it in a way that makes it unique because it's not being done by a TV network. - Verdi On 9/20/07, mdanzico [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, I began my videoblog on September 15th of this month.

I checked the site, and although it's a little strange and hard for me to believe, it seems that CBS has in fact stolen my idea for my show. The show is established under pretty much the same pretenses as my own, with the host of the show even being picked up and driven by a volunteer on September 18th in NYC - 3 days after I did exactly the same thing. Now, I'm not really sure what to do. My show is at www.aroundamericaproject.com, and I spread a request video around in July which is where I believe they got the idea - http://www.aroundamericaproject.com/2007/07/16/around-america-in-20-video-request/ The only thing I can think of is to contact other news networks and out CBS, but is this something that I really want to do? Do I even really care that much? I would be extremely happy if others followed my lead and created a similar project, but not under the backing of a media corporation. That's the exact opposite of the point of my show - we don't need media corporations any longer. We are now the media, we possess the power, etc... and we can rely on each other. Any thoughts on what I can do? Should I attempt to get the word out to the blogosphere? Is this something I should even pursue? And, what are the chances that it is just a coincidence?

The video they sent the take down notice was a report that he had posted where they promised a follow up to a story about an alderman on the take and then didn't. Antonio French had posted this video to show how answers were promised and then posted the follow-up report to show that the question of who the alderman was, was never answered. To me it looks like a clear case of fair use because he was using the videos to comment and critique them. You can read more about what has happened to the rest of his videos on his blog at http://pubdef.net A word about Antonio French … He started his blog Pub-Def as a newspaper reporter frustrated by the lack of depth in local political reporting in St. Louis. He started posting videos to his blog after he saw what I was doing with Lo-Fi Saint Louis. His reporting is very good and has broken several stories that have been followed up in both local and national main stream media. He's become an important source of information on the activities of local government and a vocal critic of local main stream media. He doesn't really make much money with Pub Def (short for Public Defender) but the cost overhead of doing it is so low that he doesn't really need to make that much money at it. He's exactly the kind of grass roots journalist that our little media revolution has made possible. He's currently moving all his videos to Blip.tv (something I suggested he do months ago.) But I can understand why he wanted to continue to use YouTube because it's so well known and has so much traffic. Anyway I thought that this story was relevant to the discussion here— especially in light of the Hip-Hop Violinist story, as some of the circumstances are similar. If you get a moment go check out some of the work he's doing at Pub- Def and if you have any ideas about how he might go about dealing with this issue I'm sure he would be open to hearing them. But I also wanted to introduce him to the group (he's not a participant here) because I think that the kind of work he is doing is really important.

The owner must have had the thing which was stolen in their possession before it was stolen, and no longer have it after it was stolen. Copyright infringement does not act like this.
