    Ok, I know this is cheap but...the wording in the article makes the useful plugin sound more like a security problem :))

    Unless you toe the party line.

    Why should your toe adhere to any particular ideology? Does it matter which particular toe?

    I have no problems with people liking or using OGG, it's just that there is absolutely zero reason for me to switch.

    Oh, imagine the new Apple commercials:

    I was ripping my songs in MP3, and in the middle of the song, it was like, "beep beep beep beep," and my song was ruined, and I had to rip it again, and it wasn't as good, because it was at a lower bitrate.
