What you, I and 99% of people believe count nothing. Democracy doesn't
exist. Soon or later they will make illegal every open or free thing,
with the excuse of protecting right and to allow innovation. :(((
And no, vorbis can't be "DRM compliant" because cppm (and similar)
licences have very expensive fees and you have to sign an NDA contract
which is longer than vorbis source code.

Bye.
