>Save The Streams!
>
>October 20. is the final deadline for american webcasters to pay for up to 4
>years worth of retroactive royalty payments. This will effectively shut down
>thousands of small and independent webcasters. Many have stopped their
>streams already.
>
>Save The Streams is an agitprop event to focus on the situation, and mark our
>support and solidarity with webcasters all over the world. The event is
>hosted by BEK in collaboration with Motherboard and others from all parts of
>the net. In a massive live happening we will gather streams and statements
>from the participants in a propaganda-mix that will be relayed from our
>servers. The general public can also make statements through 'Agitbot' - a
>web interface where people can write messages that will immediately be
>broadcasted on netradio.
>The event will take place october 20. between 11 - 13 GMT+1 at Landmark,
>Bergen, Norway.
>
>Call for participation.
>Webcaster or others with access to webcast clients (ice/shoutcast,real,
>quicktime): if you want to make a statement of some kind to be relayed in our
>mix, please send a mail to: savethestreams at bek.no.
>The statements can either be streamed from your own server or relayed through
>BEK. All statements or artistic comments will be streamed without sensorship
>of any kind within technical limits.
