i agree with the points on zooms/nightshot etc (i'm actually in the middle of editing a bunch of rave footage, shot on a PD150, believe me, nightshot's no substitute for lighting or a high end camera which works well in low light...will be on http://www.symbiosisnet.com and http://www.circuitviii.net). the PD150 is great, broadcast quality for about GBP2800...that may not help you tho:)
YOU JUST CAN'T expect to end up with decent looking footage without cutting it. even if you just stick one good take next to another (better than the homer simpson star wipe school of editing), surely you have firewire and at least double digit GBs of drive space?
Are organic-LED based projectors a viable future direction? I have an NEC DLP unit - which is nice and all, cost around $2000 and is rated 2000l (and a 20' LCD screen). Both of course would have cost far more three years ago (and the projector replaced a Barco 1208s CRT model - at 180lbs these things were no joke, especially in a club...) - but both seem to be near the limit of the current technologies.
Or will nanoscale micromirror devices allow for increased resolution and decreased response time (and maybe less pixel edge visibility) from next-generation DLP devices?
I didn't say it meant that in that way...this 'insightful' post stinks of troll but anyway...
That would clearly not be fair use...obviously selling the copies is radically different from possessing or making them available for similar fair use. I can't see why a p2p service for - say - music journalists would not amount to fair use under this definition. The works would be being circulated for critical evaluation. How this could be interpreted I'm not sure - IANAL. For example, having a 'top ten' on your homepage would imply that you had conducted a critical (if subjective aesthetic) analysis of a number of works, and that your posession of copyright works used in the compilation of such a list might reasonably be regarded as fair use for critical purposes. This also blows a big hole in the proposed criminalisation of the publishing of 'pre-release' material: such material would have clear, legitimate use for critics and others reporting on the industry.
Personally I work in a related field and consider my use of such material to be fair insofar as I regard the use to fall under the category of 'research' - I'm not earning money from the works through resale, but conducting my own business, in which they constitute useful information - of which the acquisition constitues research. And I'd be happy to provide my own content to those artists or others in my field for similar purposes.
So that means...
if one's media is clearly labelled as being for 'research and criticism' purposes, and made available as such, then the RIAA/MPAA can't touch it?
OK they can't anyway, 'cos I'm in Europe, but, you get what I mean. Neat.
to think that the british government wouldn't prosecute hundreds of thousands of copyright 'criminals'!!!!
hahahaha - try telling that to a cannabis user! y'all have thirty years of potential imprisonment/fines/criminal records to deal with...then round about 2035 they will change the law so the police can just destroy all your hi-fi, comps, storage media (whether containing anything illegal or not) - which will be interesting if we all have implants - unless you were sharing files with a minor, that is...
am i the only one who thinks there might be at least an ideological overlap here: drug users and filesharers, both groups seen as a threat to corporate power, both using technology in ways the corps didn't intend, both criminalized for activities which certainly ought not to be offenses for which custodial sentences are available?
oh well, at least it will make filesharing cool and sexy (cos it's illegal), and numbers of kids trying it will mushroom (as 'twere) under prohibition...lol
i wonder how long b4 DARPA sponsors the development of magnetic pulse weapons (to deploy against renegade overseas ISPs) - makes sense, given that dropping defoliants on South American pot-growin' peasants works so well...
