Hi folks It seems to me that my recommendation is not welcome. I wish to add that RMS want to legalize file sharing
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/letters/articles/2007/03/13/let_free_music_files_ring/ I only got two private answers: -------------------------------------------------- I can't help but feel that would draw the wrong kind of attention, but you're not entirely wrong. Thing is, the Warez groups have pretty stringent standards, and x264 and xvid meet those just fine. They won't change for any of the philosophical reasons and why would they possibly care about legal ones? -------------------------------------------------- Considering the negative publicity that would result from an FSF campaign dealing with "pirates", I doubt your proposal will see much favor on the playogg list. While your idea makes sense in terms of getting people to use/see ogg stuff, I doubt people that scoff at copyright law will feel very bound to help people respect patent law. Additionally, a better goal for free software with regards to the warez scene might be getting rid of preference towards the RAR format and replacing it with the 7z or LZMA format. If you know of a tracker that's sympathetic to the cause, getting one tracker to adopt an OGG-preferred policy would maybe be enough to get the story on Torrentfreak, which could then publicize the issue more. Good luck with this, if you go through with it. --------------------------------------------------
