11:12 AM EDT 		Let me get this straight - "If you don't build in restrictions to prevent your users from using this stuff we won't buy your stuff, and we'll take our ball and go home?" Gosh, no RealNetworks on Linux? I'm broken-winded. Uh, I mean hearted.

I really think these people need to get the clue that NOBODY but them wants Digital Restrictions Management. (And I think they'll make a lot more money if they quit wasting their efforts trying to prevent us from using their stuff and just make quality material at a price that's comfortable to pay...no point in hunting through illegal P2P feeds to find a bad copy of a movie when you can buy a full-quality original for $5.00...)

Deleted a long time ago (and Helix as well)...

Well, Real, here's your hat and here's your coat, what's your hurry?

Well, that's the problem you see. Bill doesn't want to play. Real wants to bring their own ball, and Bill is the only one allowed to have balls in the games he plays.
