You misunderstand. I'm not saying you're stupid for suggesting using
the win32 codecs (if that's what you have to do to play the damn
things, that's what you have to do, it's hardly your fault). I'm saying
Lionstracs is stupid for requiring you to do so. Especially since they
sell Linux-running products, and have taken so much from the free
software world.
It's not a big deal, and I'm certainly not implying the company is
"evil" or whatever, but still. I figured it was worth mentioning.
I couldn't agree more about 'the industry' screwing the users over huge
in this department. Can't we just make proprietary file formats flat
out illegal already? :) What a beautiful day that would be...
