This arguement of royalty will not be settled here...or perhaps
anywhere.  On one hand, they have a right to revenue from their product,
and in this case, I guess you can use it free if YOU don't receive
anything by their product (file format).  So in a sense, we are much
better off than in the old days...when EVERYONE had to buy the celuloid
strip from KODAK...?
