Egypt: Footage and Photos under CC
The Qatar based televison network Al Jazeera released footages (raw film material) and photos (at their Flickr account) from the Egypt Riots under Creative Commons Attribution License (as long the logo remains intact in the remix). Using CC Al Jazeera is ahead compared to other network stations glued to proprietary formats. Although Egypt information minister shuted down Al Jazerra’s office in Cairo, Al Jazeera announced that »it will continue its in-depth and comprehensive reporting on the events unfolding in Egypt«. Here you’ll find an emotional video remix (from other sources) and informations on alternative internet access capabilities in Egypt. [via]
In Egypt there are riots, civil war in the capitals and the Western countries find a common position. Some, like UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon calling for free elections immediately, while Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi Mubarak strengthens the back. Maybe that’s a good thing, because ultimately must decide the Egyptian people, how to proceed there. In my eyes this Mohamed ElBaradei only one who now wants to jump on the moving train to dust at times quickly president. He is in my eyes is not democratic legitimacy.
Find ich gut. Die Sache mit den intakt bleiben müssenden Logos sehe ich allerdings etwas problematisch, weil dadurch z.B. Ausschnittsvergrößerungen erschwert werden.
