I did an interview with Groklaw recently that got posted today. It touches on a lot of issues that drive the creation of Miro and make our project different than proprietary competitors: open-source, eliminating gatekeepers, net neutrality, DRM, and others.

Nick made a lot of good points in the Groklaw interview. The issue of interest to me is how to balance easy access with a practical pay-for-download method. I started Liberation Video as a way to make independent political video more accessible. There is a lot of great free online video, but unless independent producers have a way to derive a reliable income, the work will only be spare-time endeavors.
I have some ideas for a process to rent online video without DRM, that can also be watched on a conventional TV and provide independent producers with a reasonable level of protection for their work. I would like to discuss this with someone who has the technical expertise to evaluate its feasibility. Also, if anyone is planning to come to Austin for SXSW, I would like to meat you.
