28.-30.09.2007: AAI Convention 2007 (Crystal City, USA) als Videostream

[Rene Hartmann]

Da die Convention 2007 "Crystal Clear Atheism" der Atheist Alliance International (mit Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Ayaan Hirsi Ali u.v.m.) komplett ausgebucht ist, bietet die AAI an, ein Internet-Passwort zu erwerben, mit dem die Convention oder Teile davon per Internet-Videostram angeschaut werden können.

Die AAI regt an, Parties zu veranstalten, auf denen die Teilnehmer gemeinsam die Übertragung anschauen können.

Hier die diesbezüglichen Infos:


The Atheist Alliance International's Crystal Clear Atheism 2007 convention is a complete sell out. That's the bad news. Now for the good news--AAI is pleased to offer you an opportunity to view all of the convention proceedings as a live Internet video stream. You will be able to see speeches by Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Julia Sweeney and many others from the comfort of your own home (1/10 of what it would have cost for you to attend in person).

Thanks to the fine work of Anthony Gaston Bayou Productions and Joe Reinhardt of Hi-Tech Enterprises Incorporated, you can purchase an Internet password through AAI for the cost of $35 for one event (selecting either the Thursday, September 27 Fundraiser, the Friday, September 28 Dawkins and Harris Program, the Saturday, September 29 Plenary, the Saturday Night Awards Banquet, or the Sunday, September 30 Secular Ceremonies Event), two for $70 or $95 for all 5 events (Thursday, September 27-September 30 as described above). For more program details, please see the convention schedule at:

Please go to the following link to connect to the AAI Convention Live Video Stream Website where you can make your password purchase through Pay Pal or credit card.

As an extra bonus, you will be able to log on after the show and download the WMV file so that you can watch it from your own hard drive. The shows will be posted after the live broadcast, and the convention activities will remain on the server for a week to be viewed or downloaded only by people who have purchased passwords.

Please note that the following restrictions apply:

1. You cannot log on from more than 1 computer at any time using the same password. This prevents anyone from sharing a password. If the same password is used on another computer, both computers will stop receiving transmission.

2. Anyone with a slow ISP such as a dial up will not be able to watch in real time as their computer will frequently pause to "buffer" the stream.

3. The deadline to sign up and pay will be Sept. 19, 2007.

4. If you sign up for one video stream or a package of two video streams and you decide later to view all five events, you will not be able to upgrade or transfer/apply credit.

We suggest that you consider hosting a party or renting a hall so that as many people as possible can share in this historic convention. AAI's goal is to connect atheists all over the world and this convention is the first attempt to synchronize the movement through the inspiring words of atheist leaders, scientists, writers, philosophers, and passionate nontheist people.

If you do not want to see the convention activities in this manner, we suggest that you visit the AAI website in October to purchase quality DVDs of each day/event. The video will cost $25 for your choice of day/event or $75 for the entire disk set (plus postage).
