"In this article, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes points out why he keeps giving
money to Microsoft and Apple despite the clear advantages of Linux: the
scary legalese dialogs you have to click through
<http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/entdev/article.php/3689726> to install
codecs for common multimedia formats. Quoting: 'Despite strong points
that go far beyond price, Linux falls short when it comes to legally
supporting file formats such as MP3, WMA/WMV and DVDs.' He talks about
using Ubuntu and booting up Totem Movie Player, only to be confronted
with a burst of legalese about what a hardened criminal he'll be if he
uses Totem without a license. This problem is 'a deal breaker' for him."/
