Legal Codecs Needed

What makes Windows/MAC more successful is they encourage third party
developers to sell legal plug-ins/codecs allowing MP3, DVD, HD-DVD to be
played.  Fedora, Ubuntu, and the other major
Linux Distributions lack this so illegal means are common.  It is time for
third party developers to
sell codecs for the major Linux distributions thus ending the illegal route.

Also, the ogg theora codec isn't ready for prime time yet, I hope it will be
fully able for Fedora 8
and beyond.  There also should be a GNOME app that encodes DV to OGG.  I
wish there was
an OGG codec equivalent of Flash for web sites, that would be very ideal...
