FUCK TV!

Conclusion

We have the opportunity to bring about major social change by creating a new way for humans to create, find and use media content. The existing structures of media distribution are embodied in the way we divide those who produce content from those who consume it, and this division is embedded in the design of current hardware and software. We can create a better way.

Free Software and Free codecs provide the technology, and CreativeCommons provides the licensing. Gnome and GStreamer are a great platform for freely creating, editing, annotating, viewing and remixing content.

Annodex is a way to tie all this together so that anyone can publish media, such that it can be linked and indexed globally, and so that people can surf among millions of media sites seamlessly as browsing the web.
