Ogg Vorbis Share Reaches 12.3% on P2P Traffic
prostoalex writes "According to CacheLogic survey, 61.44% of the peer-to-peer traffic nowadays is video, with audio taking distant second place, representing 11.34% of global traffic. Moreover, 12.3% of all the music files traded on P2P networks are in Ogg format. Almost all of the OGG files are traded via BitTorrent protocol with most of the growth coming from Asia, CacheLogic says."
What's wrong with Mp3 and WMA?
Probably because I can't think of any artist that likes to give away his/her music for free. Course you could probably pick-up some freebie folk-tunes or a nice head-bangin country tune recorded by a freckled head kid from the county fair.

Yeah, not many people download movies in OGG format, and the ones that do probably spend a lot of time trying to figure out why the sound works perfectly but the picture is so garbled.
It's not pirated, it's liberated!
OMG u r so downloading shitty ripz lol mb omfg rofl mien r all 1.4 gigz and 6 megz mb d00d kthxbie lol k cya
I am happy to answer your question. The technical name for "non-equalized" is "different", because if things have not been equalized, obviously they are not equal, or equivalently different. Thus, you are saying you don't like the sound of the ogg file because it is "different". That's like saying you don't like Linux because it is "different" from Windows. Open up your mind and I think you'll like ogg just fine.

Suit up guys.... Lock and load. We're going after Bill.
The Bill??!
Yep.
But he survived an attack from Washington.
We're the RIAA. We're bigger than Washington.

"Almost all of the OGG files are traded via BitTorrent protocol with most of the growth coming from Asia..."
This provides more proof that open-source is a communist plot -- most open-format audio files traded on those illegal p2p networks come from Asia, home to the largest communist country on Earth! Protect American business and ban p2p and the GPL!
Oh dude, no way, that reminds me.
:P
My friend's little brother went to Amsterdam last year and while he was out drinking with some buddies, he met this really hot Dutch girl who asked him back to her place.
Long story short, he gets drunk, passes out, and, swear to god, wakes up in a tub full of ice with a kidney gone!
Seriously...

OMG!! Your brother set up his own video piracy company in China. You should ask him for a cut of the profits to keep quiet.
