Speex Joins Xiph To Bring Free VOIP To The Masses

xercist writes "Xiph.org has added a new project to their plate of goodies- Speex. Speex is an audio codec specifically for, you guessed it, voice. It has integration with Xiph's OGG container, but is mainly being used right now for VOIP. There is currently an XMMS plugin available, and is also supported by LinPhone, OpenH323, and GnomeMeeting. Asterisk PBX is working on adding support. This is not a new project -- Jean-Marc Valin has been hard at work writing the codec for quite a while now. However, Jean-Marc is now a full-fledged member or the Xiph.org team, and in celebration, Speex beta one is being released. Xiph.org has brought you (or is currently working on bringing you) Vorbis, Tremor, Theora, Tarkin, Icecast2, cdparanoia, now Speex, and, of course, the Moaning Goat Meter. This is a LOT to do, so please donate to show your support."

Whoa, now there's a nice little attribute, really.

I have logs myself where Emmett Plant even states that there's no harm in copyright piracy, that it in fact helps everyone.

He even states that people can talk about piracy and even about pirating stuff so long as they don't trade in the channel itself.

I have logs just as well, so thanks.

And to clarify, I think that the CTEA is bad, and I hope Eldred gets it struck down. If you even bother to realize things, you'll see that even Lessig and Eldred *support* copyright, just not the CTEA and DMCA, just like I publicly stated in #Vorbis.

And yes, I got banned because I didn't support piracy. Let me repeat that: You get banned from Xiph's channel if you do not apprecate piracy.

And I never stated that the only reason copyright is sacred is because it's a law, but I did say that piracy is against the law. If you wish to break it, you should also accept the consequences of breaking said law.

Now, about that lying?
