I'm pleased to support DTV, because it will enable, for the first time, a large-scale Internet video creation and distribution platform which, because it is based on open standards and open source software, will be available to everyone.

Creative Commons was made with projects like DTV in mind: to support independent voices with flexible copyright licenses. DTV is a perfect environment for the spread of CC licenses.

Rather than having to dig through my archives, Broadcast Machine lets me create my own channel and makes it easy for people to find and watch my past shows. DTV will allow more people to join the citizens media revolution.

Democracy Internet TV Platform
There's a world of amazing independent video out there and now there's an easy way to watch it. Democracy is bringing internet TV to the fullscreen -- lean back and enjoy. Browse the built-in channel guide, subscribe to channels, videos download in the background, and DTV notifies you when they're ready to watch. Open-source and open standards means everyone can watch and everyone can create.
Create your own TV Channel: With our Broadcast Machine video publishing software, you can publish video to an unlimited audience, with virtually no bandwidth costs. It dovetails perfectly with Democracy, giving viewers a TV-like experience watching your channel.
Open and Independent: Internet TV should be open-source and based on open standards, just like blogging and podcasting. We're working to ensure that the new mass medium of internet TV is free, accessible to all, and built with independent voices.
