Greg Goeckner's comments on behalf of the motion picture industry against this new Real product are unprofessional and ill-informed. His law professors must be squirming to think that he was one of their students to make such idiotic arguments against the product that so clearly complies with the 1998 Millennium Copyright Act's fair use exemption for consumers who purchase such DVD's.

So...wma isn't proprietary? Mp3 isn't either? Do some research there. How many (non-oroprietary) ogg or flac files do you have? And what does that have to do with RealDVD anyway? Personally, I think anything that rolls back copyright law to reasonable limits is good.

Real Inc has been totally useless for the past decade--and before that only useful because they provided the only substantial alternative to WMP. More groups should join in and finally sue them out of existence. also clean up the web of their stale and terrible proprietary formats.
