Welcome To Mediapedia.

We at mediapedia believe in the freedom of information, and hold that people have an inherent inalienable right to full and unfettered access to any and all information and media content, on demand and without charge. We believe this right wholly necessary to educate more fully, and to enable and enhance the free exchange of ideas between and amongst cultures.

Why should people, who either cannot afford to purchase or merely cannot acquire (due to geographic concerns or otherwise) their desired information and media, be denied access when the technology and infrastructure to distribute and propagate such information exists in so readily a manner and at so little a cost?

Quite simply, they shouldn't.

Of course there is a question of legality concerning the distribution of information and more specifically media that is under the purview of national or international copyright law. Since the Napster verdict, the people who have continued unflinchingly to freely share and distribute this intellectual "property" have been viewed by a vast number of the world's citizens as criminals for providing knowledge, media and information to those less fortunate.

We at mediapedia do not accept this paradigm shift.

If you, like us, believe that media, information and ideas belong to the people then we urge you to help us create the greatest library the world has ever seen, comprising nothing less than the collected works of the human race, mediapedia will serve as a beacon that shines so bright, leading individuals out of ignorance and into the golden light of knowledge, awareness, and understanding.

As of this writing, mediapedia is little more than a few measly bytes on a far-away server and an ambitious, but achievable idea conceived among friends. With your help however, monetary or otherwise, we will soon become a vast information behemoth, comprising a nearly incomprehensible amount of data, fully and anonymously accessible to anyone with internet access and the will to better themselves.

The road will be long and difficult, and there will doubtless be grim tests to our solidarity and righteousness; entire industries may be dismantled or reconfigured, but we must remain resolute and obstinate in our ultimate vision, and more specifically in our unyielding belief that it is an inherent and inalienable right of the individual to freely and openly acquire knowledge without interference or prohibition from any state, corporation, or individual.
