Miro means nothing whereas Democracy Player does. It highlights the need to democratise the media, encourage grass roots participation in media creation and facilitate viewers interaction with the media, providing feedback." And I would add that in this time of ever narrowing perspectives allowed by the very few elite corporate magnates of the world, the people are waking up to their need to share information that is not part and parcel of some propaganda machine. Democracy.tv does that, quite well thank you very much. And since I have rarely met an open source junkie that didn't share this view on America, so it begs the questions: Who bought you guys out? How much did you make? Because you surely aren't giving any response to people who are expressing similar opinion all over your website. Team Democracy:

I like the slightly subversive ring of it’s original moniker, but we all bow down before the marketing god and I’m sure Miro will sound better once the David Pogues of the world take notice. Anyway, it’s the third most used app on my laptop and I expect good things from the The Participatory Culture Foundation.

It looks like Miro is already set to be found in google for the launch so I hope it goes well and the progrma goes from strength to strength. As it stands now, I love Democracy Player, aka Miro to bits so it really can only get better for me.

Nathan Jones above has made a point that overrides everyone else here. Mozilla and Firefox are not "political" names, yet they have grown leaps and bounds and challenged many larger and well connected players in the browser market. In fact they are very socially active and political organization, even without a name that says they are. It part of branding to take a generic name and make it mean something to the average person, instead of them coming with preconceived notions. Make the name generic and easy to remember and let people who would be turned off by democracy tv (thinking its some "political" channel in search results) stumble across the player and use it. The point is that Miro will get a much better reception and hopefully bring more people, such as developers, that can really help push the project forward. Open source or not, non-profit or not, PCF and Miro are still subject to the same forces and issues that exist with other video players and must be pragmatic and a realist to enact change in the video marketplace. I welcome the name change and will continue to help the project. It wasn't the name that drove me to project in the first place (in fact it confused me)...it was the kick ass video player.
