As a follow-up to the recent discussion about MP3 and closed formats and patents:
"MP3's Loss, Open Source's Gain", by Eliot Van Buskirk Wired News, 23 Feb 2007 http://www.wired.com/news/culture/music/0,72785-0.html In short, the author hypothesises that this could be an impetuous towards more support for Open/Free formats, like Ogg Vorbis. A bunch of companies are faced with paying even more money for MP3. Doubtless they will do so (or go out of business), but this may serve to remind them that Freedom is good for business, too. We can hope. :) -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
