1) It sounds like Justice is *not* being served -- the proceedings ought to be available in an Open Standard!
2) Didn't your Vaio come with an OEM Windows license? IANAL, but I think you'd have the right to possess that IP, if so. I'm guessing you don't want and Microsoft IP around... 3) There are options -- you might find a machine on which you can listen to the Real stream at the public library, EFN, U of O, or.... I could help you out. I listened to the thing yesterday, and tried [unsuccessfully] to record it with both grecord and 'record' (don't know which package that came from, but it was written by Gerd Knorr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. It appears that realplayer locks up the audio device pretty good, and I don't yet know how to force things through an extra layer (virtual dev layer) that I think will let it be recorded... anyone? I could use a less sophisticated method, alternatively, but was hoping to offer the LUG an Ogg Vorbis version of the stream. Email me off-list if you want my help to listen to it (I could host a small hearing maybe) or with your suggestions for the liberation of this format. Alas, I was not even able to play the stream [yet] with MPlayer, I don't know how to properly specify the URI. Help on that would be appreciated too... cheers, Ben PS - Finally saw Rabbit Proof Fence last eve -- highly recommended, and this is the last week of showing, so go see it if you like!
