Nobody took this news to this list!?
Microsoft was ruled to pay about a billion for infringing
a mp3 patent. When that is verified in higher courts, it
is expected that many companies will face the same issue.
I hope the bill for individual Windows users is high enough
so that OGG starts sounding a good idea.

Also, now it would be time to contact all possible mp3
manufacturers, and tell about OGG encoders and players.
