Conference: Yesterday was a good day at Eurosonic. I kicked off the conference with a talk about ‘Green Festival Communication’. I know, that doesn’t sound quite sexy at all, but there were two people there from ID&T/Sensation and the Melt! Festival in Germany, and I was interested in hearing what they had to say about [...]

We’ve got mail!
May 26, 2010

Sometimes stickers can be such fun! Look at the (very bad) pic above. At the conference during Eurosonic, some rascal (who shall remain nameless) put a the sticker of The Pirate Bay on the nameplate of Matthijs Bobeldijk from Buma/Stemra. We had a laugh! Now look at this website. How much fun can you have [...]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOrkic6og-4] Today Dutch copyright organization Buma/Stemra launched the Fair Play license. They charge blogs for embedding. It’s like calling Vinnie Jones an elegant soccer star. Read more on it here. This new law would mean the death of blogs like this. Of blogs that promote culture and don’t make any money out of it.
