I am not one of the morons that gets all their news from Digg (or even
visits Digg at all), so I'll just ignore that statement. I've been on
this list for months.

Seriously, who didn't know this already? That was really, really
obvious. I just happen to think the fears were unfounded. My question
now is, what is higher priority at the moment?

- Proving that OGG is not liable for patent issues.

- Finding something else.

I think point 2 would suck since OGG is such a great format. What I'm
wondering is, how can we help with point 1? Or is there nothing we can
do?
