Beastie Boys Named Webby Artists of the Year

The Beastie Boys will be named Webby Artists of the Year at the 11th Annual Webby Awards on June 5th in New York for their work on Awesome, I F***ing Shot That:
which was filmed entirely by dozens of audience members using hand-held cameras provided by the group, epitomizing the Internet's interactive spirit and foreshadowing the boom in user-generated video. The trio has also been a longtime advocate of more flexible copyright rules that allow artists and fans to legally swap, share, and remix music.
