A new chapter for Riff.CC, and a bit about our history
Published on April 9, 2022 by Benjamin Arntzen
Riff.CC is now slowly developing some new open source software and technology that we hope to share soon. We're on OpenCollective again, this time as an unincorporated project.
Riff.CC previously existed as the Riff.CC platform and Riff.CC Foundation, incorporated in WA. It was a BitTorrent-based platform for distributing and sharing legally free (Creative Commons and similarly licensed) content. It was launched on December 2020, The Riff.CC Foundation was dissolved due to funding and viability issues, leaving the project with an uncertain future.
The new Riff.CC plans to use OpenCollective to raise, track and distribute funding to development efforts, with finances initially being held by the founder, Benjamin "Wings" Arntzen. Once the future direction is clearer and the project is viable again, we'd like to explore joining a Fiscal Host such as OSC.
