[M4IF Discuss] Slashdot discussion of Salon article

[Sanjay Kulkarni]

Yes, I think everyone is in agreement with that, but IMHO MPEGLA is trying
to get the technology advantages of the MPEG2/MP3 domain (along with its
business model) and trying to apply them to a whole new market (of Internet
Streaming) that has historically been dominated by "free" or "open-source
business model.
I see this "per-stream-per-minute" charge justifiable for wireless mobile
industry (for e.g. I pay for every minute I watch a video on my cellphone)
but I still don't accept a per-minute charge for Internet streaming,
especially when I have other options.
