It combines the best of the other two mentalities with the addition of reason as a way to knowledge.

The Broadcast Machine
"It's a php tool for your website for publishing / posting video 'channels' (rich metadata rss feeds). It's the easiest way to post torrent files and it's also a really good way to make collections of videos from around the web (or to make channels out of stuff that you've posted elsewhere, eg archive.org or ourmedia.org). The goal of the software is to help people make channels of video that will be browsable, downloadable, and watchable in our video player."(http://www.boingboing.net/2005/0...
