Sign-up at www.unwatch.org -- UN Watch exposes the monumental hypocrisies, terrible lies and moral inversions of the new and supposedly reformed UN Human Rights Council. Millions of victims and 191 countries ignored. Darfur atrocities outright denied. Self-proclaimed defenders of Palestinian rights -- Assad, Ahamadinejad, Khaddafi and UN expert John Dugard -- care only about scapegoating Israel. Council President Luis de Alba of Mexico responds with unprecedented announcement that he rejects the speech as "inadmissible" -- and issues a ban on any speech that similarly criticizes the council or its member states. NGO community is shocked at denial of free speech and open debate.

Anti-war protest walk at NY
I bumped into this protest walk yesterday in NY. I really like this picture, not only because I've taken it.
I think the location was Lexington and 42nd, Manhattan, NY.

AMV Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
Great song by Alan Parsons Project, with some wonderful video that reminds me of the cartoons back in the 80's.

More on the future of internet radio...
This issue is absolutely serious. It really hurts when the so called democratic environments like the US Congress (which by the way claims that it is a government unit of the people) decide in favor of the corporations who rely on unbelievable lobbying power.
To learn more about the issue, here is an informative blog post.
Here is the directory of the Congressional Representatives by zip-code. If these matters are any kind of interest to you, please send them a fax or a letter, you can find examples at another post on the issue by Tim Westergen the owner of Pandora.
"RIAA's new royalty rates will kill online radio!!
The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) has recently released a revised fee schedule for internet radio. Left unchanged, these rates will end internet radio, period. The RIAA has effectively convinced this federal committee to establish rates that make online radio a non-viable business.
It's an utterly ridiculous ruling that renders any form of internet radio non-economic. We are continuing in the belief that sanity will return as everyone involved, including the 50 million avid online radio listeners, realize just how outrageous this is.
You can probably tell by this post..."

Zoob Tube and Save Our Internet Radio
A few weeks ago, I found about this cool feature for listeners of RadioParadise, it's called ZoobTube. From the creators words:
"Thanks for checking out the Radio Paradise ZoobTube. It's one of my new digital creations that harvests and combines some of the amazing art (and sometimes dreck) that's out there in cyber space. It grabs the artist and title of the most most recent song played on Radio Paradise and then uses those as keywords to search both Flickr and You Tube for photo and video content. It's interesting on it's own but even cooler when you watch while listening to RP."
Speaking of RadioParadise, because of some legal issues and the royalty rates for internet radios, it seems that the future of internet radio is in serious trouble. To learn more and to contribute to the discussions visit this site.
