On the Media - June 3, 2005: "
Darknet
For every move that media industries have taken to protect their copyrights, there has been an equal and opposite countermove by consumers. In Darknet: Hollywood's War Against the Digital Generation, J.D. Lasica explores the realm in which so-called pirates operate - slicing, dicing, and sharing media to their hearts' content. Lasica talks to Bob about how Hollywood is driving consumers further into the shadows and under the radar.
Press Potlatch
At any given hour, the BBC's website is the most visited news site in the world. So it was quite a surprise when the organization announced last month that it's relinquishing some control of its online content in order to harness some of the energy of internet innovation. The only condition of the new arrangement is that content sharers explain their intentions. Tom Loosemore, co-creator of Backstage BBC, tells Bob why it's better to share.
Feedback Loop
Last month, Infinity Broadcasting gave its listeners control of the airwaves, at least on one money-losing AM station in San Francisco. It renamed the station KYOU, and switched its format to amateur-submitted podcasts. KYOU calls it 'open source' radio. Meantime, in another part of the broadcast universe, Christopher Lydon is giving voice to his own version of open source radio. He joins Brooke to explain the vision behind his new public radio show.
