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

perhaps someone who is savvy and knows technical details could write
up a template for a letter people could send to these companies(who
ever they are.)

i try and convince the podcasters that i use to make the switch, but
ogg still seems like some sort of complex geek thing most people.

btw do you have a link for the microsoft bust?

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.
