Broadcast Machine. User-produced media takes another step forward
with the release of Broadcast Machine, an open source
application that streams your video as a BitTorrent
from your web server. A viewer
is also being released. The software is beta and not ready
for prime time yet, but it just shows how close we are to
bypassing traditional media altogether. Via Alec
Couros. By Various Authors, Participatory

The Role of Digital Rights Management in
Open Access. Good article discussion the relation between
digital rioghts management (DRM) and open access (OA)
publushing. While OA advocates eschew DRM because it has
the potential to impose access restrictions, there may be a
role for DRM in the management of minimal rights, such as
attribution, through a declaration of those rights in
metadata. Moreover, OA advocates need to be wary of the DRM
in PDFs provided by publishers to authors for
self-archiving. Via EDUCAUSE.

Facilitating the Social Annotation and
Commentary of Web Pages. The idea behind digital annotation is that
readers of a web page or document can place comments into
the context of the article, like footnotes or marginalia,
rather than at the end. It's a good idea and as you read
this article you'll see how much thought has gobe into it
over the years. But you'll also see that none of these
solutions has really caught on. I think that, on a web with
billions of documents, there may be a minimal granularity
of reference. It may be that referring by page is as
precise as readers are willing to get. Via James
