Democracy Player Receives $100,000 From Mozilla

Democracy Player is a conglomeration of utilities mashed into one. It’s a video player first that plays an extremely wide-range of formats. It also allows for video search with the ability to download whatever you watch. Other features include handling of BitTorrent, FTP and even RSS. Mozilla enjoys the project so much, they felt a $100,000 donation was in order.

In our last board meeting, it was decided that Mozilla would give a $100,000 grant to the Participatory Culture Foundation, the makers of the Democracy Player. PCF, like CC, aligns well with Mozilla and its manifesto. Additionally, PCF has projects that are built partly on Mozilla’s technology.

It’s great to see such an amazing project getting support like this. Democracy Player pushes the idea of freedom, so it’s no surprise that it’s available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. More reason for you to give it a try if you haven’t already.
