Exactly how would a Linux user "legally" use mp3's or
wma's?  The 
holding companies have ignored Linux users because
there is software to 
charge them for. Plus there is noone making a profit
off of Linux mp3 
software, so there's no business lost. Aren't those
the reasons for a 
copyright in the first place: To protect profit?

Besides, their copyright isn't valid in most of the
world anyways 
(including Europe). Plus, I use m4a's because they are
available from 
itunes and they don't require that licensed codec
crap. If my mp3 player 
would play .ogg, that would be nice ... but it
doesn't, so I deal for now.
