VX:mission:

A night of films and ideas from the world of radical social justice 
video. VX:mission is a working gathering of video activist and open 
software technology hackers. We are working together to increase the 
noise of social justice video on the internet and the digital pirate

digital underground and a plan to save us from the corporate digital 
vaccuum cleaners like YouTube.
