On August 23rd, 1994 SCO broadcast a live music concert from
the Cowell Courtyard at the University of California in
Santa Cruz. This event, part of SCO Forum 1994, was the first
time a live musical performance was broadcast over the Internet
utilizing the emerging World Wide Web.
The band was Deth Specula, a group composed of SCO employees, and the first song ever broadcast over the Internet was a parody of the Grand Funk Railroad song "We're An American Band". Deth Specula sang "We Are An Internet Band" with lyrics like:
"We're comin' to your town
To bring your network down
We are an Internet band."
Today, SCO continues in that tradition by sponsoring and producing
a series of live Internet webcasts from the popular Santa Cruz night
club Palookaville.
These webcasts demonstrate the use of UnixWare 7
as a real-time audio and video webcasting server utilizing the
RealAudio and RealVideo technologies from
RealNetworks.
