Videora:

David Pescovitz:
From BB "band manager" John Battelle's Searchblog:

"Via PVR Blog, I see that Videora, a BitTorrent RSS reader, has launched. Om noted it here.

So why do we care? Well, I've long theorized that video over IP will come from the bottom up, as opposed to the top down, much as it has with blogs, and with music before that. This feels right along those lines."

Rumblefish and Magnatune, music licensing and music publishing:

Recently I met with Rumblefish http://www.rumblefish.com/ founder Paul Anthony. His not-evil music licensing company who has managed to crack into the big league (with licenses to The Sopranos, Adidas, JCPenney and Fox Sports). I admire his commitment to not being evil, and his successful focus on high-end licensing.

Rumblefish and Magnatune will be cooperating on a number of fronts, specifically:

• Rumblefish will be  able to sell Magnatune's music through its licensing business Magnatune will develop a version of its online licensing system for Rumblefish, so that Rumblefish will have an all-online music licensing site Magnatune will be contracting to Rumblefish to do the "Publishing Administration" for our about-to-be-launched new business "Not Evil Publishing", which is a music publishing business for self-owned musicians.  More about the publishing business as that site goes live...
