Other than to talk to a lawyer, which is always the authorative action
to take on any issues involving questions of legal risk.... is there
any instructive references that could be cited in layperson oriented
documentation as to why mp3 playback support isn't included? I ask
because the argument about playback being without risk comes up from
misinformed laypeople in the userbase with some frequency. It would be
useful to have a specific reference for further reading which could be
used to help misinformed people to start re-evaluating their personal
view or at least doubting the information the read elsewhere on this
matter.
