i couldn't care less about that stuff. what's important to me is the
ability for people to own their own "printing press," as it were. the
particular medium is irrelevant, except to the extent that it aids
distribution, which in this case is very helpful. streaming media is by no
means limited to the mpeg standard, however, so try not to confuse the
issues.
