[ReadWriteWeb] Video Goes Open Source on Wikipedia: New Format, New Player, New ...: Those clearances and permissions and union signatory contracts are overwhelmingly complicated on exhibition outside what they deemed as fair use) and your statements show you do not understand that the Creative Commons license is not perfect yet... a documentary filmmaker who thought they were doing the right thing by sharing information (without consulting with a lawyer)that did not understand that creative Commons does not cover all the details of the original deal with it sounds like someone potentially like yourself who has to "bring the hammer down on them"

[Beet.TV] Beet.TV: Get Ready for Video on Wikipedia: Al Jazeera Has Started ...: A typical video that we see on the web is basically a black box format in a Flash container: I can easily manipulate it, I need to buy proprietary tools to really do things with it or even to rebroadcast it. So video on the web isn't as open, it's not as free and as reusable as, for example, an image on a web page or text on a web page.

[Nina Paley's Blog] Nina Paley: America's Best-Loved Unknown Cartoonist » My Wikimedia ...: When he posted this, it caused a tempest in the teapot, and then that tempest lead to a lot of major news outlets questioning Wikipedia itself - you may not want to tread again over the same paths that he did, or people might not pay close enough attention to what you’re trying to say. To Jason’s credentials: he’s basically a well-spoken techie guy who’s been online forever and has basically gotten himself one way or another into the middle of just about every major phenom that’s crawled up out of the Internet.

[electronic museum] The whole NPG / Wikimedia thing « electronic museum: The NPG have acted as nice as is possible, and wanted to enter dialogue with the WMF over the images, the WMF could host low resolution images, with the correct copyright notices, linked to the high resolution on the WMF website. The WMF firmly reject this however because of the copyright status, the WMF will only be happy if they can have the images themselves, the high resolution ones, under a PD licence, anything else just isn’t cricket!

Typically, fewer than 3 percent of grant applicants are selected for funding, and purely scientific projects are not typically considered for these grants.

[>Re: PHOTO] >Re: PHOTO » Blog Archive » Wikimedia, Gage and Orphan Works: “I’d just like to say that the National Portrait Gallery is one of the worst offenders in the world in its digital practices. The terms and conditions (quite apart from the cost) associated with getting permission to use one of their images - itself a pretty offensive idea, I know - are so bad that you can’t really afford to do business with them.

[meanwhile...] meanwhile”¦ » Blog Archive » (UK National Portrait Gallery vs ...: The Wikimedia Foundation has no reason to believe that the user in question has violated any applicable law, and we are exploring ways to support the user in the event that NPG follows up on its original threat. We are open to a compromise around the specific images, but our position on the legal status of these images is unlikely to change.

[Whatanews4u.Sports] BBC - Digital Revolution Blog: Liberty, wikipedia and a voice for all: I understand that Wikipedia took the step of taking 'it upon themselves to own certain portions of data content, making it difficult for newcomers to put their personal spins on the content in the online encyclopaedia' to stop the cranks, pranksters and those with axes to grind from doing exactly that. Of course everyone (or most) believe themselves to be wholly sane and to hold knowledge and views that are denied others, but a line has to be drawn somewhere by someone.

[Past Thinking] Past Thinking » Blog Archive » National Portrait Gallery / Wikimedia: One of the reasons I am glad NPG prohibits photography is because when you are a visitor trying to appreciate paintings, it is incredibly irritating to have people looming towards you so they can get a quirky photo of a Holbein or whatever. Other museums, like the British Museum, do allow photography in their galleries.

On the other hand, much of today's computing hardware (including newer mobile devices) comes equipped with on-board H.264 decoding, meaning less processing power is spent playing back the videos.

[NIGERIAN BEST FORUM BLOG] NIGERIA BLOG, FREE INTERNET, MARKETING, WEB HOSTING, DESIGN ...: The National Portrait Gallery now says it only sent a legal letter to David Coetzee after the Wikimedia Foundation failed to respond to requests to discuss the issue. But it says contact has now been made and remains hopeful that a dialogue will be possible.
