explaining "newmedia composition"


hi all-

is this a good way to explain "newmedia composition" for a more mainstream =
audience?

paper
words
literature

radio waves
sounds
music

internet
content
newmedia composition

Authors create literature by manipulating words. Paper is used to deliver l=
iterature.

Musicians use instruments to create music by manipulating sounds. Radio wav=
es deliver the music.

Newmedia writers, producers and artists use instruments (e.g. html, Adobe's=
Premier and Macromedia's Flash) to create newmedia compositions by manipul=
ating content. The Internet delivers newmedia compositions.

We define "Newmedia Composition" as the art of manipulating objects (or eve=
nts) for a compelling sense of reality.

real life


[Speaking in favor of the recent royalty fees imposed on the radio webcaste=

s issue shouldn't be presented as big labels vs. mom-and-pop operations: "I=
f you don't have a business model that sustains your costs, it sounds harsh=
, but that's real life. If a grocery store can't afford to pay for the vege=
tables, they can't keep their doors open."

[According to the article ... most of the 10,000+ radio webcasters are expe=
cted to fold].

so much for free speech ... these fuckin' royalty fees are unconstitutional

great post Joy ... i thought you may appreciate this from yesterday's
digital media wire

o AOL Time Warner's RoadRunner Blocking File-Sharing for Some Users

New York -- AOL Time Warner's RoadRunner high-speed Internet service has
begun to block some of its users from using file-sharing services
including Kazaa, Grokster and IMesh, according to a story in Silicon Alley
Reporter. First noted on technology discussion board Slashdot, the
blocking seems to be limited to users who have designated themselves as
"super nodes," or a kind of central server where lists of files available
on many other users' computers are located. A Time Warner spokesperson
confirmed the blocking to SAR, saying the move was intended to "slow down
the upstream speed and prevent general bandwidth degradation," but added
that, "this is not broad program, or something that is going to go on a
continuous basis."
