One glass of water deserves another.

@mattl: #spotify is totally revolutionary. I hate many things about it, but none related to its design or vision. I want a Free competitor.

Ryan Prior Matt Lee , Ryan Prior

♺ @mattl: @ryanprior you're not using #Spotify, I hope? :)

Ryan Prior mrs. stench

@lstench: I use #Songbird to see how things are getting on. Never impressed enough to prefer it over Rhythmbox. #Spotify is another story!

Ryan Prior

#Spotify on Ubuntu is awesome! They even integrate with the sound menu. As much as I dislike the subscription model, this is revolutionary.

@leorockway: A master is one thing; a tool vendor is another. Free control of your own communications is what makes GNU Free Call crucial.

Ryan Prior Leo Rockway

@leorockway: "in other regards" were really important words there! Freedom matters, but I keep score on other issues too.

Ryan Prior Jonathan Beatty

@jbeatty: I'm not saying I wasn't excited for GNU Free Call before the Microsoft acquisition. Non-free software is always problematic!

Ryan Prior Leo Rockway

@leorockway: I always said to people "it's not Free, but at least they always treat their customers well in other regards." But Microsoft?

Ryan Prior Ubuntu users , GNU's Not Unix , Free Software Foundation

Microsoft bought Skype?! It's time to get GNU Free Call UP AND GOING. !fsf !ubuntu !gnu

@tinydoctor: When money is defined as "something possessed in varying quantities only by sociopath plutocrats" we're already on the way.

Ryan Prior Ted Smith

@tedks: lack of copyright would guarantee all users freedoms 0 and 2. Users would still prefer and demand software which respects 1 and 3.

Ryan Prior Nick Daly

@nickdaly: why didn't artistic innovators need copyright in the millennia leading up to its invention?

Ryan Prior Ted Smith

@tedks: when I think about state-granted monopolies on cultural works, anarchy doesn't come to mind. It sounds like statist violence to me.

Ryan Prior Ted Smith

@tedks: I'm still confused. I thought the GPL was meant to neutralize copyright until it could be abolished for software (mathematics).

Ryan Prior Carlos Solís

@arkblitz: your opinion isn't a cultural work. Fair use protects those who wish to criticize your opinions. I think rms's stance is logical.

Ryan Prior Saul Uribe

@ch4plin: Jingle (libjingle) is Google's audio/video-over-Jabber plugin. Check it out.

@fontana @bignose @bkuhn It looks like #CC0 is pretty benign, and probably a good choice for many projects. Thanks for your comments. !free
