Btw, in case you really think by partnering with Adobe we'll somehow gain enough weight to later liberate ourselves, you have to see what is coming: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/02/adobe-pushes-drm-flash "Users may also have to upgrade their Flash Player software (and open source alternatives like Gnash, which has been making rapid progress, may be unable to play the encrypted streams at all)" Scary, really scary. While we discuss about tools that give user the choice of giving up on freedom, Adobe prepares their next strike. Either we gain critical mass of NON-ADOBE flash real soon, or we're screwed. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
