[ale] The world just got screwed....

If anyone hasn't already seen it, immediately read this article:

"New MP3 License Terms Demand $0.75 Per Decoder"
http://slashdot.org/articles/02/08/27/1626241.shtml?tid=155

Maybe this is the conspiracy theorist coming out in me, but I have a
funny feeling that RIAA had a lot to do with this.  Redhat has already
removed ALL mp3 players/encoders from the Rawhide tree.  

On the upside, this will be a great boost for the Ogg format.
