This is the only independent broadcast platform covering the WTO conference, which is quite possibly a defining meeting between the west, the developing world and Islam. The anti-globalisation movement has never had a voice in the area, so this is an important opportunity to build up relations with the arab world. We hope the IMC network makes the most of this and we make true progress in being a true global independent news media network. Indymedia really does go where no other news agency will go and thus brings a voice to the unheard, the dispossessed and from all corners of the planet. With the help of Indymedia, Greenpeace intends to put on the web at least 1 hour of English programming a day during the WTO meeting, also Arabic programming is being planned. The origin of those broadcasts will be the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior, as it is docked in Doha, Qatar during the 4th Ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO). We invite any Indymedia Center to help cover on the global site as well as on their local sites the events happening in their locations from nov 9th to nov 13th. Phone lines will be soon set up to receive incoming calls from all over the world to report on the various actions: there will be the possibility to upload audio features on mirrored ftp sites so that anybody partecipating can share the content produced and radios can transmit it in any form. We hope that the coordination will grow to include another communication means and as much people as possible: it's a big experiment and it could spawn the idea of keeping this distributed audio project. Coordination will take place on irc.indymedia.org #radiodoha www-features@lists.indymedia.org imc-audio@lists.indymedia.org mp3 stream mountpoints on: http://radio.us.solipsists.org:8000/no-wto http://radio.uk.solipsists.org:8000/no-wto http://live.waag.org:7800/no-wto http://freeteam.nl:8000/no-wto http://xs2.greenpeace.org:8000/no-wto (and eventually more, check radio.indymedia.org for updates) if you want to collaborate please contact the tech staff: <jaromil@dyne.org> <henk@waag.org> <gekked@blackflag.net> <saloxin@squat.net> <blicero@ecn.org> or come on irc to coordinate ASAP. if you can offer a webserver mirroring audiofile features (approx 50Mb space needed) please let us know! a list of links where to download and scheduled programming will be updated on http://radio.indymedia.org and http://tazebao.dyne.org pages. when this all starts: 9th november 15:00 GMT coordination is allready going on IRC going on until 13th november.

was only the beginning an introduction to textz.com [updated version 0.5.5] a spectre is haunting the corporate world--the spectre of organized world-wide file-sharing. mp3, to name the most common synonym for the becoming-distributor of millions of former customers, has clearly shown that the flows of digital data are much more driven by people and popular protocols than they are determined by legislation, ownership or the new global rules of the corporate-political. napster has reverse-engineered the ideology of a whole industry, and it has finally proven its total, complete and absolute obsolescence. today more than ever, the nets are zones of excess, immune against the business model of electronic scarcity. the transnational companies that are trying to break up the file-sharing networks have declared a war they will never be able to stop. there are going to be thousands of napsters. textz.com is not even zero-point-five of them. we are not the dot in dot-com, neither are we the minus in e- book. the future of online publishing sits right next to your computer: it's a $50 scanner and a $50 printer, both connected to the internet. we are the & in copy & paste, and plain ascii is still the format of our choice. it shouldn't require a plug- in to read a book on the net, nor should it require a credit card. the text industry is a paper tiger. along with the mass erosion of their proprietary rights goes the vanishing of their digital watermarks. packed today, cracked tomorrow. whatever electronic gadgets they will come up with--they are all going to be dead media on their very release day. forget about your brand new kafka dvd. i already got it via sms. one shouldn't expect the 50 million former users of napster to be digitally illiterate: they won't judge an e-book by its cover. this is not project gutenberg. it is neither about constituting a canonical body of historical texts (by authors so classical that they've all been watching the grass from below for almost a century of posthumous copyright), nor is it about htmlifying freely available books into unreadable sub-chapterized hyper- chunks. texts relate to texts by other means than a href. just go to your local bookstore and find out yourself. the net is not a rhizome, and a digital library should not be an interactive nirvana. the conceptual poverty of today's post-academic, post- corporate public online services--and we haven't seen dot-museum yet--is not and has never been a desirable alternative to the dystopic vision of a future controlled by the super-pervasive data-streams of the emerging military-entertainment complex. there are still other options. nostalgia is slavery. stay home, read a book. information does not want to be free. in fact it is absolutely free of will, a constant flow of signs of lives which are permanently being turned into commodities and transformed into commercial content. textz.com is not part of the information business. they say there was a time when content was king, but we have seen his head rolling. our week beats their year. ever since we have been moving from content to discontent, collecting scripts and viruses, writing programs and bots, dealing with textz as warez, as executables--something that is able to change your life. this is not promotional material. facing the unified principles of information--the combined horror of global communication and so-called guerilla marketing--there is no more need for media theory or cultural studies. the resistance against corporate culture can itself no longer remain in the cultural domain. you make a mistake if you see what we do as merely apolitical. we are studying the coils of the serpent, watching the walk of the penguin, mapping the moves of our wired enemies. intellectual, digital and biological property--cornerstones of the new regimes of control--are the direct result of organized corporate piracy. they are not only replacing such dubious and obsolete notions as freedom, democracy, human rights and technological progress. all these new forms of ownership are, in the first place, attempts to expropriate people's work, data and bodies--just as the they begin to acquire, for the first time in history, the technical means to organize them in a radically different way. today's global media and communication conglomerates are mafias, and we shouldn't count on what's left of the national governments when it comes to fighting back. "humanity won't be happy until the last copyright holder is hung by the guts of the last patent lawyer." napster was only the beginning. the nineties of the net are over. let's move on.

Subject: Major Online Communities Report from Pew Internet and American Life Project This time with a subject line ... P.S. I would be interested in the results of similar studies in other countries. - SLC *** Democracies Online Newswire - http://www.e-democracy.org/do *** The Pew Internet and the American Life Project <http://www.pewinternet.org> has released one of the most important studies about the "two-way" Internet to date - "Online Communities: Networks that nurture long-distance relationships and local ties." Below is the press release. Access the full report from: http://www.pewinternet.org/reports/toc.asp?Report=47 For my full Democracies Online commentary visit: http://mail.tc.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0110&L=do-wire&D=1&H=1&O=D&F=&S=&P=3 265 The report states that most people find local online groups in the off-line world. I also see tremendous potential for online efforts which make it easier to find, evaluate, and join online communities based on geography and other key factors. This happens to tie extremely closely with the proposed Open Groups standards effort that I am promoting <http://www.publicus.net/opengroups/>. To receive notice of the pending release of a major technical draft, send an e-mail to <open-groups-announce-subscribe@yahoogroups.com>. With support, Open Groups could help increase online group interactivity many times over. Read on for the press release and pass this on to others. Steven Clift Democracies Online Newswire http://www.e-democracy.org/do Provided to DO-WIRE by: http://www.pewinternet.org FOR RELEASE AT 6 P.M., OCTOBER 31, 2001 CONTACT: Lee Rainie or John Horrigan at 202-296-0019 http://www.pewinternet.org/about/about.asp?page=5 90 million have participated in online groups Many use the Internet to connect with online communities that embrace their hobbies, their professions, their passions, and their beliefs 28 million go online with church groups, sports leagues, and social organizations in their home towns WASHINGTON- The Internet allows tens of millions of Americans to participate in a thriving social world where they enjoy serious and satisfying contact with online communities. Some 84% of Internet users have contacted an online group. That means that more Americans have used the Internet to contact a group than have gotten news online, or searched for health information, or bought a product. Many of these online groups are far flung and allow Internet users to connect easily with others around the world who share their passions, beliefs, hobbies, and lifestyles. At the same time, 26% of online Americans use the Internet to intensify their connection to their local community by planning church meetings, organizing neighborhood gatherings, arranging local sports league operations, coordinating charity activities, and petitioning local politicians. These findings represent some hopeful news that the Internet can be a tool for vigorous social engagement, rather than a technology that spurs isolation and alienation among users. · 50% of those who participate in online groups say the Internet has helped them get to know people they would not otherwise have met. · More than a third (37%) of those who participate in online groups say the Internet has helped them meet others from different generations than their own. · More than a quarter (27%) of those who participate in online groups say the Internet has helped them connect with people from different racial, ethnic, or economic backgrounds than their own. These results come in a survey of Internet users by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, a research organization that examines the social impact of the Internet. They are contained in a report entitled, "Online Communities: Networks that nurture long-distance relationships and local ties." "For vast numbers of Americans, use of the Internet simultaneously expands their social worlds and connects them more deeply to the place where they live," says Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Internet & American Life Project. "Online groups are comfortable places for people to congregate and get to know organizations and people they might never have encountered." Many online Americans are using the Internet to connect to traditional groups that exist in the offline world such as professional and trade associations, hobby enthusiast organizations, religious groups, ethnic and racial fraternal organizations, and political groups. A surprisingly large number of those contacting online groups (56%) say they became active in a group -- even traditional, offline organizations -- after they began communicating with it over the Internet. At the same time, millions of online Americans now use the Internet to connect to groups to which they belonged before they began using the Internet - and they report that their use of the Internet has helped them become more involved with those groups. One other encouraging sign is that use of the Internet is drawing new kinds of people to groups. In particular, young adults and minorities are using the Internet to participate in all kinds of online clubs and organizations and this is leading to new forms of civic involvement. "The network of networks has become a collection of communities," said John Horrigan, senior researcher at the Pew Internet Project and principal author of the report. "Many actively engage in cyber groups through email and bulletin boards that are lively forums for sharing ideas, hashing out issues, and making new friends." The Pew Internet Project study identifies 9 different types of Internet users who are attracted to online groups. Many belong to several types: On average, a Cyber Groupie (or someone who has checked out an online group) has visited 4 different online groups at one time or another. The different types are: · The Getting Ahead group - 51% of Internet users who have checked out trade and professional associations or labor unions. They are more likely to be college-educated men. · The Getting By group - 43% of Internet users who use Internet groups to mange day-to-day responsibilities, such as parenting or medical conditions. Women, especially those in the 35-44 age bracket, gravitate to this group. · Belief groups - 56% of Internet users who go to religious online groups or those relating to spiritual beliefs. Those in Belief groups value making personal connections more than the average Cyber Groupie. · Lifestylers - 28% of Internet users who go to online groups to contact people with similar lifestyles. Lifestylers tend to be men under age 34 and are among the very active emailers of other online community members. · Ethnic and racial groups - 15% of Internet users who have contacted an ethnic group online. This is the most racially diverse set of Cyber Groupies; this group is also younger and more urban than other categories of online communitarians. · Civic Engagement group - 45% of Internet users who have contacted an online group such as a neighborhood association or local charitable group. This group is older than average, and active in emailing online groups close to home. · Political Groupies - 22% of Internet users who have contacted a political group online. This group is mostly educated white males, and they are among most active emailers of others in online groups, and report that online groups have deepened their involvement in groups to which they already belong. · Entertainment groupies - 60% of Internet users who go to online groups about TV shows or fan sites of particular performers. This Cyber Groupies are younger than average, and have been online longer than others who go to online groups. · Sports Junkies - 42% of Internet users go to online groups about their favorite sports teams or local teams in which they participate. These users fit a perhaps predictable profile: they tend to be suburban men between the ages of 35 and 44. Here are some other key findings from the survey: · Men tend to be drawn to online groups involving professional activities, politics, and sports. · Women tend to be drawn to online medical support groups, local community associations that are online, and cyber groups relating to entertainment. · Lurking is not prevalent among Cyber Groupies; fully 60% email their group, 43% several times a week. · 35% of all Internet users go online for news about their local community or community events. · 30% of all Internet users go online to get information about their local government. · 11% of Internet users know of a local issue in which the Internet played a role in organizing citizens to communicate with public officials. · 51% percent of all Americans know of a place in their community where the Internet is publicly available. Overwhelmingly, these places are public libraries. African-Americans are the most likely to say that their community lacks public access to the Internet; 42% of African-Americans say their community does not have publicly available Internet terminals somewhere, compared with 29% of whites and 33% of Hispanics. The Pew Internet & American Life Project is a nonpartisan, independent research organization funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts to study the impact of the Internet on families, communities, health care, education, civic and political life, and the work place. ^ ^ ^ ^ Steven L.

The CDDC ( http://www.cddc.vt.edu ) has been in operation for over two years, and it publishes hypertext journals, hosts digital research archives, and cooperates with many international cyberculture organizations. As an entirely digital point-of-publication, the CDDC is seeking from individuals and groups, proposals of artistic or academic merit for use of our server space. The main focus of the CDDC is to explore the new communicative potentials of hypertext, hypermedia, and web-centered publication. The review processes will be as extensive as those experienced in print academic outlets, but it too will be conducted in a fully on-line format. Proposals should be approximately one page in length. They should explain the work, and, if possible, provide examples (current urls) of the work proposed. We imagine projects by individual digital artists or writers, groups of artists, reviewed or curated online display spaces or literary journals, and other unique endeavors will take advantage of this service. On average, each project can be allocated a considerable amount of space (i.e. around 50 MB, of web addressable server space, though both larger and smaller requests will be considered), accessible from an ftp account on the CDDC servers. To propose a publication project, or to get more information, contact the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture at cddc@vt.edu . FAQ: Q:How do I get free hosting for my online artistic/literary project at CDDC? A:You have to submit a proposal first. That proposal then goes through a rigorous review process and once it is accepted, then you get free hosting. Q:Do I have to pay for this? A:There will be no charge for this service. Q:Can I pay to have my materials hosted and bypass the process? A:No, there is no way to bypass the review process and while we accept donations, they will have no affect upon the review process. Q:I have an idea for a project, but the project is not finished, should I submit a proposal? A:We would strongly prefer proposals about completed projects, but will entertain proposals about projects under construction. Projects not yet started are unlikely to make it through the review process. Q:Can I put ads or other profit making tools in my area in cddc? A: No, but it is conceivable that one could use these in a form of artistic expression, and that would be something that would go through the review process. Q:Will the CDDC attempt to make profit off of my work, by placing ads, etc.? A:No Q:Do you provide DNS resolution? A:We are looking into it, but we know of several free services that can resolve to our servers and do provide virtual hosting on those servers as long as some mention of CDDC support is made on the front page or a sponsors page. Q:I represent a group of artists and we would like to create a site and review the work that we want on that site, could that be hosted on CDDC? A:Yes, we are happy to provide this service to a group of people maintaining on ongoing or permanent exhibition space. However, we would suggest a slightly larger proposal 2-3 pages that includes URL's to the types of work that your group supports and would include. This proposal will then be reviewed and if it is accepted, your group will be given a space. - -- Jeremy hunsinger http://www.cddc.vt.edu/jeremy CDDC/political science http://www.cddc.vt.edu 526 major williams hall 0130 virginia tech blacksburg, va 24061 540-231-7614 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 22:03:13 +0100 From: "nomusic" <info@nomusic.org> Subject: ((( NO-RADIO ))) ((( NO-RADIO ))) Tuesday - 06/11/001 french time [GMT+1] Dj PUNISHER Start 09:30pm>11:00pm on www.noweb.org fly @ http://www.noweb.org/fly/punisher_noweb_4.jpg friends mix + talkshow (encoder Mp3) vs. CARL.Y Start 11:00pm>... on www.nomusic.org fly @ http://www.noweb.org/fly/carly_nomusic.gif computer (encoder Real) *unsubscribe : mailto:info@nomusic.org?subject=UnSubScribe ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2001 12:41:42 -0500 From: Agence TOPO <topo@agencetopo.qc.ca> Subject: ART CDROMS 2 THE ART CD-ROM SHOWCASE L'Agence TOPO is inaugurating its electronic showcase with its first=20 collection of Quebec works.

NMEDIAC has adopted the mission of publishing peer-reviewed papers and audiovisual pieces which contextualize encoding/decoding environments and the discourses, ideologies, and human experiences/uses of New Media apparatuses. In relation to previous work, NMEDIAC hopes to provide an intellectual canvas where the cultural spaces and experiences of new media are theorized and rigorously explored within both global and local contingencies of the present and past. Therefore, papers that take Cultural Studies and 'critical Internet Studies' approaches to analyzing new media are encouraged. The submission deadline for the first issue is January 1, 2002. All submissions received after that will be considered for subsequent issues. Papers should be submitted in APA style by email in .doc, .pdf, .html, or another format to Jonathan Lillie at: jlillie@email.unc.edu Audiovisual new media art or presentations may be submitted or proposed at any time. Preference is placed on pieces that are submitted along with, or incorporate scholarly work, or that emphasize general or specific themes within new media studies, such as new media as experienced culture. A special issue on new media art is in the works, and we invite preliminary ideas for audiovisual pieces or papers on this broad topic to also be submitted. Please visit the NMEDIAC web site for further information and for the launch of the journal on January 15, 2002: http://ibiblio.org/nmediac ------------------------------ # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
