Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (August 29) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB) (28:59)

The courts have ruled on some important issues involving copyrights of recorded music and TV programs. And Internet radio businesses are in danger of shutting down because of high royalty fees.

Berlins innercity had a free radio for a short amount of time this summer. Berlin media activists used this chance and transmitted a 60 minutes program on July 23rd, combining progressive alternative hip hop music and interviews with the political MC Immortal Technique from Harlem on police violence in the US, with Dr. Thomas Klein, a former member of the opposition in the GDR in the late 80s and the photographer and grassroots journalist Santiago Flores from Montevideo, Uruguay, talking about his exhibition in Berlin Kreuzberg.

We start by looking forward to the conventions, including a discussion of the platform they provide for activism. Then onto recent local activism: a protest about inadequate wage increases at the U of Illinois, and a rally on energy policy. We spend an extended period discussing energy policy and public transit. We close by talking about the reputed agreement between the Iraqi and US governments on a timetable for withdrawal.
