Linux Version of Democracy Player Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tune-in-turn-up dept.

clahey writes "The Participatory Culture Foundation just released Democracy Player 0.8.2 for Linux, the first beta version for Linux. It's a free software internet TV client with built in support for both RSS video podcasts and downloading using BitTorrent. It can even scrape web pages for videos. It's an excellent way to find great internet video. For example, once you've installed Democracy, make sure to check out The Postal Service - Such Great Heights on the Telemusicvision channel."

    Why do i need to install this if not buggy, dopy named application when I can get same content over YouTube.com and video.google.com within installing nothing but Firefox and Flash plugin? What am I missing here?

    If I wanted to watch political satire content, I'll just read New York Times.
