Hi, just had a good laugh while looking at the petition page:
"YouTube currently is using MP4 to display their videos in their HTML5 player. I am petitioning this sad fact. The web should be an open place where anyone can provide rich media without going bankrupt" youtube != the web If youtube wants to pay for mp4 licenses, it's their decision. If other web video services cannot afford mp4 licenses, youtube won't care. "Relying on closed source, expensive codecs like MP4 to play our media is almost as bad as relying on Flash" mp4 is neither a codec nor it's closed source Why should youtube even care about such a petition? The *only* sensible argument for youtube in favor of free formats and codecs would be, that browsers like firefox cannot legally support it. But even then, youtube/google might simply say "use chrome instead" Stefan de Konink wrote > I hope people actually vote my 'Use Dirac instead' suggestion up. Did you compare Theora and Dirac?
