Another quote on the subject of Ogg:
“Ogg provides a baseline of fully unencumbered, fully open, fully documented, fully royalty-free codecs that are lighter-weight than the contemporary encumbered solutions while offering comparable or superior performance. Ogg is not fantasy or vapourware. It is widely deployed, tested, and reviewed. Ogg has already stood the test of time.”

Two quotes today:
“They told us the only way to avoid paying to sing the carols is if the kids are told to stick to old songs which are out of copyright.”
Margaret Hatton, Dam House
(Talking about the Performing Rights Society)
“…a W3C-lead standardization of a “free” codec, or the active endorsement of proprietary technology such as Ogg, …, by W3C, is, in our opinion, not helpful …”
Steven Wenger, Nokia
(From a position paper submitted by Nokia to the W3C)

“When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song.”
“[Making] a copy of a purchased song is just “a nice way of saying ‘steals just one copy’.”
