Dendriet is a network of musicians in The Hague (.nl) that perform with networked electronic and acoustic instruments. The word dendriet, or dendrite, is also the name for the receptors of a nervecell. Dendrites are typically branching branches. You'll find these fractal shapes in ice, in metal chrystals in limestone, and likewise, in our performance setups. Please do check out our homepage by clicking the stone. You too are invited to join the discussions.

Interesting read and massive link vault in one 

I received an interesting post by Michael D. Crawford in the iRate mailinglist. It contained a response to an article by journalism Professor Robert Boynton, titled "The Tyranny of Copyright?" published in the New York Times. (you can use "dendriet/dendriet" as L/P)

Michael D. Crawford wrote to Professor Boynton:
"My article also explores the idea that copyright is an idea whose usefulness to society has been superceded by the unprecedented ability of computers to faithfully and freely copy and transmit digital files. The section of the article called "Should Copyright Even Exist?" suggests the possibility that
computers and the Internet could create more benefit to society than copyright presently does, if copyright actually were eliminated."
Read more on his massive page that doubles as a interesting link archive.

(I dropped him the link to dendriet.nl :-)
