Well, I would not refuse to read proprietary formats but I always choose  
patent-unemcumbered formats when available. As for distributing the files to  
other people (e-mail attachments, web site, etc.), I feel it is essential to  
propose a patent-unemcumbered format... but, to me, it looks even better to  
*additionally* propose more popular formats even if patented. For instance, I  
think it is a good idea to distribute a podcast in Ogg Vorbis. It definitely  
is a better idea than only proposing MP3. However, proposing both looks the  
best to me: you do not help the patented formats to be popular but people  
with players that do not "understand" Ogg Vorbis can still listen to it.
