Re: loquendo tts is the company gone under? Sebby, yes, there is ethical arguments to be made about copyright law but intellectual property rights is one of those things we could discuss until Doomsday and not get anywhere. I was merely pointing out where we stand in terms of the law, and ethical considerations aside its not smart to get on a list or forum to pass voices around regardless if a person feels they now should be freeware because they can no longer purchase them from said company.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=147323#p147323 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: loquendo tts is the company gone under? Of course, this is simply the legal perspective. There are ethical arguments--quite compelling arguments, I think--for distributing something which one believes would be lost if not distributed. It's a complicated discussion.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=147269#p147269 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: loquendo tts is the company gone under? Jack and all, just because the company has closed or has been purchased by another company does not legally give you the right to just pass their software around. You really need to study copyright law, and understand it because a copyright holder can hold the rights to any and all software regardless if they make it available to their customers or not.For example, let's assume USA Games creates a few kick butt games, you like them, and for some reason USA Games closes our doors. Well, you might believe that because the company has closed you can just pass all my games around. Wrong!I would still be legally in my right to take you to court and sue you for financial damages. It doesn't matter weather I am still selling the products or not, weather my company still is online or not, or weather or not I am no longer providing updates. As the copyright holder I have a right to sell or not sell a product and redistributing said products without my expressed perm ission is a violation of copyright law.The same holds true for the Loquendo voices. Apparently Nuance has purchased them and now Nuance is the official copyright holder of record. Weather they update the older voices, sell them, or anything else is immaterial in the eyes of the law. Redistributing them is illegal and you can be arrested, sued, and have to pay fines all because you mistakenly believed them to be abandonware. So don't assume just because some company goes out of business or is sold to another company the copyright laws do not longer apply.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=147238#p147238 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: loquendo tts is the company gone under? Right, they are in deed abandoned. Problem with nuance's loquendo voices is that not all of them are included and they are not really loquendo voices anymore, they are vocalizer expressive voices. Oh well, I already have the voices and voice experience thingy anyway, probably not a problem to distribute them.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=147197#p147197 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] loquendo tts is the company gone under?
Re: loquendo tts is the company gone under? since loquendo's merged with nuance, technicly speaking, I suppose the old loquendo voices're indeed abandonware?if it is so, it shouldn't be a problem to distribute them ,right?URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=147178#p147178 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: loquendo tts is the company gone under? hi i don't think so since loqwendo voices have murged in to nuance vocalizer so they are not freeURL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=146990#p146990 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
[Audiogames-reflector] loquendo tts is the company gone under?
loquendo tts is the company gone under? So I visited loquendo.com and instead of the original website there was a site to a comapany called inbound solutions, property of nuance. Supposedly this company is for routing calls, varrifying identity etc using speech and touch tones. Is it safe to say that loquendo is abandoned and the voices can be freely distributed?URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=146974#p146974 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
