The problem: Congress doesn’t do a very good job of making video of its hearings available. One solution: citizens using “p2p” technology! “The more friends, neighbors and other citizens choose to share each hearing the faster shared delivery costs drop to almost nothing.” The new problem:
New legislation (the INDUCE Act) is designed to outlaw the very P2P networks that have the collective power to promote learning and democratic participation.
Washington, D.C. – August 4, 2004 – A diverse coalition of citizens, activist groups, academics, entrepreneurs and fledgling technology companies today announced their support for a project to share digital recordings of government hearings on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.
