stopACTA protests in Ulm
These are some impressions of the Anti-Acta protests that took place all over europa a week ago. The “surveillance”-camera which you can see on the right picture was set up by Simon (@taxilof). Besides the labelled cardboard he took his smartphone, attached it to a long pole and set up a live stream.
I just love this idea! It reminds me of how far we have come with technology. So far that almost anybody with a modern smartphone can easily set up a real-time video stream of some event. The internet really is changing things and most people still haven’t noticed.
Over 1.000 people attended the protest and I have the impression that this is mainly due to the facebook event someone created. The number of anticipated protestors heavily grew after people started to invite other people to the event: from 50 to far over 1.000.
I also tried to do some voice recordings. Got myself a Zoom H4n lately. Still learning how to use it properly though.
