On November 8th, 2006 I interviewed EFF lawyer, Kurt Opsahl, on EFF’s defense of the Internet Archive from the Landmark Education DMCA Subpeona.  Landmark Education subpoenaed the Internet Archive, Google Video and YouTube to reveal the identity of who uploaded the France TV 3 video on the Lanmdark Forum. Kurt recommends bloggers, whether using text, audio or video, review the EFF: Legal Guide for Bloggers. Another source of information for online rights is the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse with a database of take down notices. Should you receive a Cease and Desist notice(s) they can be put up there.

SF Cutters has been around since March of 2000 with monthly meetings in downtown San Francisco on tools, techniques, Q&A, etc. for using Final Cut Pro. It is the first Final Cut Pro users group.

For the upcoming October 25th meeting I will talk for about 20 minutes on different methods to present your videos on web pages. These methods — such as using Dreamweaver, podpress, blip.tv, revver, etc. — will be compared to my open source utility vPIP (video Playing In Place) . If this topic is of interest, please come and ask questions and talk to me afterwards.

The event starts at 6:30 pm at dvGarage – 785 Market San Francisco. There’s a $5.00 charge for pizza and a raffle ticket to win a prizes. The other speakers are Larry Jordan, Ethan Markowitz of Jungle Software, John Dalton of Synthetik Software, Joel Hinojosa and Paul Kalbach.

I’m going to do videoblogs on cafes with wireless access. What type of access? When are they open? And so on.
