Apparently some media outlets also run a story about how "mp3 is dead" because its patent run out. Wtf. In what fucking way.

Now is the beginning of .mp3's life, because everyone is free to use it (or use pieces of it) wherever they choose.

@lnxw48a1 @Gargron Pieces may indeed be the interesting part. It's one thing to finally move encoders from Non-Free to Free. It’s another to take a de facto standard apart and build on the pieces.
But, again, how about the other unencumbered formats?

@enkerli @gargron That was my thought: if there is some piece of mp3 that could benefit opus, now they are free to use it.
