(^_^)What it says in plain english is that if you put some MPEG4 DIY movie (^_^)of your own holidays on your own web page together with Google ads, (^_^)you *have* to pass some of that revenue as royalties to the (^_^)consortium. (^_^) (^_^)> I don't speak of content but of file format. how do you think the (^_^)> uploaded files are made of? (^_^) (^_^)Your original message made me think that you give for granted: (^_^) (^_^)"I can distribute my own original content as I please" equal to: (^_^)"I can do it with whatever software technology as I please". (^_^) (^_^)This is not the case. (^_^) (^_^)Ciao, (^_^) Marco Using that analogy, then why doesn't the "consortium" that adopts TCP/IP protocols charge for every use of the internet? I mean it is used for email, and file transfer, buying, selling and everyone is making money, so why not just make SuSe and Windows users to pay a "royalty" everytime they want to send a email message, or buy something from Sears? I didn't find out about this disabled playing of mp3's until yesterday. That in and of itself is cause for me to seriously look at another distro. every cd I buy, I rip it to my hard drive. I think that is my right to do that. Guess I will be playing them with something other than SuSe. <sigh> Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like. -Will Rogers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
