Multimedia Revolution: unLabel and unStudio


As the South by Southwest Festival of 2009 comes to an end, let's acknowledge the open unConference events -- as people from all over the world connected together and joined their Indie Music or Independent Film "community of interest" while in Austin, Texas.

I've launched the GeoBrava Media project, in celebration of all the independent talent that stays true to their art-form -- passionately creating new digital media content -- regardless that their work is considered unCommercial by the legacy big-media companies.

Free and Open Distribution Models
The rise of the unLabel music production and open distribution model is a revolt in response to the traditional record label's business practices. Ditto, with the rise of the unStudio video production and open distribution phenomenon.

Nobody really knows what the future will hold. One thing, however, is certain -- the news and entertainment industry has entered a new era. Big media consolidation has merely made it easier to identify the dying legacy business models.

It's somewhat ironic, but totally within the public interest. Granted, the FCC has merely been a bystander in this process. No matter, the revival has begun.
