"The
terms "multimedia" and was coined by Bob Goldstein (later 'Bobb Goldsteinn')
to promote the July 1966 opening of his "LightWorks at L'Oursin" show
at Southampton, Long Island. On August 10, 1966, Richard Albarino of
Variety borrowed the terminology, reporting: “Brainchild of
songscribe-comic Bob (‘Washington Square’) Goldstein, the ‘Lightworks’
is the latest multi-media music-cum-visuals to debut as discotheque
fare.”. Two years later, in 1968, the term “multimedia” was
re-appropriated to describe the work of a political consultant, David
Sawyer, the husband of Iris Sawyer -- one of Goldstein’s producers at
L’Oursin.
In the intervening forty years the word
has taken on different meanings. In the late 1970s the term was used to
describe presentations consisting of multi-projector slide shows timed
to an audio track. In the 1990s it took on its current meaning. In
common usage the term multimedia refers to an electronically delivered
combination of media including video, still images, audio, text in such
a way that can be accessed interactively. Much of the content on the
web today falls within this definition as understood by millions.
Some
computers which were marketed in the 1990s were called "multimedia"
computers because they incorporated a CD-ROM drive, which allowed for
the delivery of several hundred megabytes of video, picture, and audio
data."

Lime Wire's Gorton Implicated In Court Decision
Bad news for digital entrepreneurs everywhere: a recent decision by the US Courts has target the founder member of Lime Wire as being personally responsible for encouraging copyright infringements by its users. LimeWire and Gorton could stand to be fined a whopping $150,000 in damages for each and every digital copyright that has been infringed. Clearly such a fine - if realized - could run into the billions, and would put Lime Wire well out of business.

It is unclear if this is a flight of fancy by Judge Kimba Wood, or whether it is indicative of a sea change in the thinking of lawmakers across the country. Naturally fans of filesharing - and entrepreneurs behind filesharing ventures everywhere - will be hoping that this headache will soon go away.
The defense by Lime Wire that it is not responsible for the actions of users on its network is a tried and tested formula. Its failure in this case could be alarming.
It is difficult to see how the RIAA will move forward to apply this to other areas of the filesharing industry where pointing the finger at one group or person is difficult. Open-source projects like Ares seem particularly safe from attack at this moment.
Harvey Milk DVD
Harvey
Milk was a gay rights activist who rose to fame in the mid-1970s. The
newly released Harvey Milk DVD is one that focuses on this man's life.
Told through a series of flashbacks, this film mixes archival-type
footage with scenes played to perfection by such famous actors as Sean
Penn, James Franco, and Josh Brolin, among others.
The
Milk DVD is one that chronicles Milk's life starting at his 40th
birthday and working on through to his too-early death. Along the way,
the viewer can see not only what this man's life was like and what his
romantic relationships were like, but they can also see some of the
major issues of the day: everything from the way gays were treated in
different areas of the world to the ban that was proposed that said
gays were not allowed to serve in public office.
If you want to learn more about the United States's first openly gay
man elected to a public office, then you should definitely pick up this
DVD. Though the story is sad, it is also a story of hope and
determination. You will not be able to turn your head during this film:
It will shellshock you into attention and will inspire people for years
to come.
