Feds say filesharing war = drug war 01/04/2005 01:19 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Russell Page sez: This is a bit of an interesting story at CNN about filesharing:

"There are a lot of similarities with the drug war," said David Israelite, chairman of the U.S. Justice Department's Intellectual Property Task Force. "You never really are going to eliminate the problem, but what you hope to do is stop its growth."

“…Do the FTC’s actions make a difference in the war against consumer fraud? Consumer advocates credit the agency’s clout and newsmaking skills for reaching the public on a national scale. ‘It definitely raises awareness,’ says Shelley Curran, a policy analyst for the west coast office of Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports magazine. ‘Whenever a government agency steps up and starts making an issue higher profile, it has impact.’ But even as President Bush signed…

Myth of the Hispanic Market

Myth of the Hispanic Market 07/28/2004 08:15 PM
Hispanics are said to have $452-652 Billion in buying power. On the high end that works out to $298 per week, which is what it costs to buy groceries, which explains why Proctor & Gamble etc. are going after that demographic. This kind of lets the air out of any plans for devoting energy to marketing to this "major" demographic. I'm not certain if it's a viable market at this time.

Youth Media Exchange

Youth Media Exchange 04/09/2004 04:11 PM
Citizen-Financed Media Revolution.

This is truly a technology of cooperation, by people whose work I've trusted and respected for years. Help grow the Youth Media Exchange, a free, open media publishing platform for youth media organizations worldwide. I'm committing myself for $100. I recommend it. Components of the project:

• An online "commons" - FREE storage and bandwidth for any video we want to share online, provided by the Internet Archive. This alone has tremendous collective financial value.

• Interfaces and tools - To level the playing field for access to that commons, no matter where you are or what language you speak, and to highlight the work most worthy of attention.

• Mainstream exposure - YME will be working to finance development of television pilots for the best of the material, to be aired through Link TV, one of the partners that reaches 20M American homes, and other outlets.

• Long-term sustainability - There is significant financial value in such a community of creators and viewers, and YME will also be working with the various partners to realize that as a nutrient for the whole ecosystem.

[Smart Mobs]

It took this blog from Howard - to remind me that I hadn't blogged this yet.  Congrats ot Brad deGraf on his continued effort (and teh rest of the YME team - as well!)  There's a blog and a SocialText Wiki - BTW - for those who want to help.  Meanwhile.........

Citizen-financed Media Revolution

"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both... A people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." -- James Madison "We want the airwaves, baby!" -- the Ramones Okay, we've proven we can mobilize financially in resistance (like the $500,000 MoveOn raised in one day for ads against Arnold). Now let's do it constructively and proactively. And what better focus than media, the fulcrum for change. Rapidly evolving information technologies democratize media and enable whole new media ecosystems based on "public interest", not simply on what conglomerate media wants the public to be interested in. The purpose of this initiative is to pool small donations from people like you to fund "mammals that eat dinosaur eggs", thriving public-benefit media enterprises that compete aggressively with monopoly media. Traditional venture capital is not going to do that for us. We need your participation to make this work. Help us create momentum by funding the Youth Media Exchange, or one of our other small but worthy projects. Then we'll really get ambitious. Chip in whatever you can afford (we're currently doubling all donations thanks to a $3000 challenge grant from benefactor Addi J, and $2500 from Shei'rah Foundation !), and spread the word to anyone who wants media democracy enough to help make it happen. And register with the Rolodex if you want to be part of the on-going conversation.
