FTP / Brandon... about WMV

Just saw what you posted on the ACTG forums regarding WMV....

Now wouldn't that be interesting if the world was forced to re-encode everything in WMV?

I think a lot of people are actually using WMV as it stands, but it would be a pretty nice score for Bill Gates if the adult entertainment industry (and the rest of the world?) started using WMV exclusively to avoid infringing certain patents.

Either Gates is really lucky, or ahead of us all strategically by leaps and bounds.

Anyway... If that method of encoding were the way to avoid it, I'm sure some free/GPL alternative that uses the same technology would rise up pretty quickly.


Good eye catching that omission though
