Hmm. I can host quite a number of text based documents on my site, but
videos... They would cost a bit too much, at least for now. Yet, any
video/documentary/whatever about ambisonic or another form of surround
sound tech which we don't capture, will not be available to any of us,
or the next generation, unless we somehow save it for further
representation.
So, could we'all make a little bit of a pact even with the multimedia
content? Somebody should save it privately, and then find somebody else
to retain a copy of it, also privately, at the minimum? Then, if/once
it's permissible/possible to share it further and/or publicly, they will
start redistributing it?
I'm in the final stage with the Motherlode: by my knowledge, it should
be more or less legal even now, and if it isn't, I haven't received any
take down notices either, despite it having been publicised on-list.
Thus, I'd hope people on-list would take measures to preserve whatever
material (text, audio, video, circuit diagrams, whatever) they have, and
to backup them with other people. If nothing else works, I and any other
interested Finnish party can work as an intermediary: we can copy
legally from any legal source, and legally share to our friends then,
still.
I know the BBC did broadcast some of the Proms in either H or HJ, it's
a real shame there's nobody I could contact at the BBC who might have
more info. It's another thing that needs archiving, or it'll be lost
forever
More and more it seems that the modern incarnation of BBC is interested
in ambisonic, and whatnot. So, then, how about trying to establish a
formal connection with their audio folks? We're not exactly some random,
stupid list within Them Tubes, but rather a well-established,
professionals-containing community with something weighty to tell about
this stuff. As a community -- even if loosely-knit -- we don't fuck
about with surround sound technology, but know a helluva lot about it,
utilize it, and have been able to attract not only researchers in the
area but rather weighty practitioners as well.
To me this sounds like crowd-sourcing at its best and easist, to BBC.
From our angle, then, we then just want the right to see what they've
done/achieved. It's *very* difficult to see why both parties wouldn't
get what they want, at the same time... ;)
