Oh don't mistake me for a closed source promotor there, I was playing
devils advocate for a bit. I am all for open source, and not just that,
free software too. But there's still a very real economy out there that
is based on closed source and software as a product rather than a
service. I'm not sure how compatible commercial funding and
no-protection is. If I were a record company then WMA would be an
attractive alternative to Vorbis.
