Thank you! I did not have gdebi installed.
Just follow the instructions from https://jitsi.org/Main/DebianRepository.
If gdebi is installed, simple double-clicking on the deb file will install
it.

Once a work has been released, an artist shouldn't be able to control their

You are no one to decide such things. And clearly you are not thinking
Like I said, if you want to "share", share something that has a license that
says "share me". If you share something which has a license that says "don't

There resides the problem, you believe that "sharing" is good not matter what
you are "sharing". But, if you are "sharing" something that has a license
that says "You are forbid to share me", you are not "sharing", you are
"illegaly sharing" which is no sharing at all, it's a break of the law
