[spectre] Save The Streams - Call for participation

[220hex]

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@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.
