I think you will hear soon than the person who posted that to Slashdot was wrong and misunderstood the license. See the following... ,---- | From: Steve Syatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: mp3 licensing | Date: 28 Aug 2002 11:40:10 -0700 | | Dear Patrick, | | I am the public relations person for Thomson multimedia (mp3 licensing) and | was copied on your email. Please take a look below at the company statement | response from Thmomson multimedia regarding the Slashdot posting - which was | written by someone who completely misunderstood the mp3 licensing program! | Most important, there is no change whatsoever to the mp3 licensing program, | which has pretty much stayed intact since its inception in 1995! Please | stay with mp3 - it has always been Thomson's biggest objective to be totally | accessible and fair to the consumer, and always will be! | | Sincerely, | | Steve Syatt | SSA Public Relations (for Thomson multimedia, mp3 Licensing) `---- -- Fabien Penso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | LinuxFr a toujours besoin de : http://perso.LinuxFr.org/penso/ | http://linuxFr.org/dons/ A PHP Template Engine ?
