Machinima
One of the new things I became interested in lately are machinima, or movies made within video games. I am in fact building a site that is to allow linking, voting and reviewing machinima movies, recognizing it as a growing phenomenon and an interesting new (at least from the perspective of the mainstream) media of cultural expression.

V for Vendetta
Has anyone here watched this movie called "V for Vendetta"? What did you think of it?
I did recently and it's gotta be one of the best movies I've ever watched. I might have not said something like some months ago, but from where I stand today the movie is a perfect fit, might even call it positively life changing and incredibly inspiring.
Copyright holding tax
d) so-called "intellectual property" will be treated as real property, including the levy of "property tax" on the fair market value of the so-called "intellectual property". This would encourage artists and companies to maximize the value of productive property and abandon property that is not productive.
OMG. This is one of the most insightful ideas concerning copyright since its conception. If anything, this would be a huge leap towards more balance between those that create and those that use that creation, either to consume it or to create something new out of it.
Libraries Reject Google/MS free offers and pay OCA for freedom instead
From slashdot:
"The Internet Archive, whose main claim to fame is the Wayback Machine, designed to archive the internet's web history, has created a new project: the Open Content Alliance. It's purpose is to open the nation's library collections to universal web search.
A number of major library systems, including the Boston Public Library and Smithsonian, have refused to sign up with competing ventures by Microsoft and Google because they do not provide for universal access to digitized books.
These commercial ventures prohibit books being accessed by competing search engines. So far, 80 libraries and research institutions have signed on with Open Content Alliance.
