The Digital Economy bill is a set of proposals designed to promote 'Digital Britain'. The Act covers many areas along with that of online copyright infringement. This area has had the most media attention as it sets out measures to disconnect users from the internet. Internet subscribers who are accused of allowing their internet connections to be used for copyright infringement (both home users and public wifi owners) are now liable even if someone else downloads or uploads something over your connection. It also outlines options to block websites and disconnect those who run these services if they are believed to be used in conjunction with copyright infringement. 2010-04-29T21:00:54+00:00 http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/apple_adobe/ http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/apple_adobe/#When:00:25:44Z This  tweet and subsequent blog post talking about Apples Failure by blocking Adobe and possible implications for eMagazines built on Flash/Adobe AIR after my intial gut reaction of 'great news, good on Apple' it got me thinking maybe I was just hating Adobe and loving Apple without proper consideration or real thought. 2010-04-10T00:25:44+00:00 http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/save_bbc_6_music/ http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/save_bbc_6_music/#When:10:38:00Z Dear BBC Trust, I firmly believe that BBC Radio 6 uphold the core mission of the BBC. 2010-03-02T10:38:00+00:00 http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/redesign_adamprocter.org/ http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/redesign_adamprocter.org/#When:00:58:30Z I have decided with the upgrade and purchase of Expression Engine 2.0 I want to revamp and redesign my site. I have set up a Google Wave with a few friends to share and collaborate ideas, unfortunately I cannot share the wave on this blog unless you have a wave account so seems pretty pointless. I want to attempt to document the process as an aid to the process and as an educational tool. I would also like to get input from other sources via comments if possible. 2009-12-16T00:58:30+00:00 http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/corvus_corax/ http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/corvus_corax/#When:12:52:31Z Corvus Corax is available to watch online, download and remix as you see fit.

I fully believe that the Internet is making global change and that the more producers/authors out there the better, whether they be 'amateur' or professional. 2009-07-26T19:13:00+00:00 http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/new_media_sharing_-_where_do_the_pearls_get_you/ http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/new_media_sharing_-_where_do_the_pearls_get_you/#When:23:12:42Z More and more recently I find that my browsing habits are determined by my twitter/delicious friends, my rss/twitter groups. I have not touched google for a while. I read a number of blogs either by people I 'really' know or ones that they would find of interest suggested to me and you know I also love sharing what I find, I tag it , I share it on FB I @someone on twitter I for: on delicious. 2009-06-15T23:12:42+00:00 http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/film_2009/ http://www.adamprocter.org/news_articles/view/film_2009/#When:17:25:31Z I have promised to talk about production whilst in production in the past and have seen a surge in this activity elsewhere so here I'm going to talk about my new film due for completion in Sept 2009 (just about fits my 3 months production time frame). So firstly here is a rather good example of an already great production blog An Eyeful of Sound which talks about the production of this new film directed by Samantha Moore (who taught me animation a while back now).

The only set goals was to ensure web standards compliance and that due to the less frequent nature of the articles I post to the site, I wanted some focus on my more frequent updates from delicious (links) , twitter (microblog) and other sites of interest that the front page was worth visiting even if a new article by myself was not yet posted. I also wanted to ensure I could pick the front articles and not rely on the 'blog' approach of date ordered articles. Animation 2009-05-13T23:42:22+00:00
