About IVDN
The Goal and Idea of the Video Network is the distribution of High Quality Videos (vhs/dvd quality) over the Internet. It is based on the Open Publishing principle of Indymedia and will allow the Publishing of Copyright Free Videos under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License. (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/)
The IVDN Project will also bring the diffrent Indymedia- and Alternative-Video Projects together on one Site using Content Syndication. Main Part of this Syndication is a Video-Wire from all the Local IMCs and other alternative Video Projects (in the style of the featureswire on indymedia.org). All articles go also in a Database so we can make a search-engine that allows searching through video content of ALL IMCs and alternative Video Projects.
To decentralize the Load and Bandwith will we use a Network of Collecting- and Publishing Server. The content thats published get pushed to both high-bandwidth mirrors (i.e. Archive.org & Ibiblio) and various p2p networks. This would allow Imc to finally be able to do massive online distribution of our video projects.[1] The Goal is that any kind of alternative Video Project is seting up a Video Collector and Publishing / P2P Server. This IVDN Project is "just" another Node in this Network.
This Idea is based on the Idea of the v2v.cc Project. It is a combination of v2v.cc and the Indymedia Open Publishing principle.
