About the class
Most web video is wrapped in a proprietary layer and served cold. It’s hard to build apps on top of video services, hard to remix video content, and hard to bring genuine innovation to market. Video is the only web medium that’s basically read-only. It’s time to change that.
This seminar will introduce a legal and technical framework for understanding open video. Guest speakers from Mozilla, PCF, Wikipedia, and elsewhere will share advances in platforms, protocols, and politics.
This seminar will challenge you to think creatively about the potential of web video, and connect the dots between open technology and media democracy.
