On the second page will be listed the names of the folks involved with developing the standard. Ninety-five percent of the names also list a company / corporation they work for, most of whom will be the biggest dogs in whatever industry for which the standard is being written. If you dominate an industry, you too can impose your will from behind an ISO fig leaf.
current public reputation of the Catholic Church, I'm not sure their support helps the cause much. I could see it being spun by Idiocrats as two dark forces joining in their pro-pedophillia advocacy. Stupider arguments have been made.
Then explain his vote as Senator to allow AT&T a free pass on BREAKING THE WIRETAPPING LAWS when asked to by the Sine Qua Non rogue organization (NSA). The only explaination is a desire to be President, instead of desiring to protect the rule of law. That easily defined him just the same as the old boss. I'm glad he won, but I knew from this vote, nothing significant would ever 'change'.
let's say the top 1% - earned 25% of the wealth and paid 38% of the income taxes. That doesn't sound like "virtually nothing".
This is merely the amount they couldn't hide in shell corporations, overseas, or bury underneath six tons of tax code specially crafted to create loopholes large enough for Lear jets.
Sure, Gates is trying to buy a Nobel Peace Prize, but at least some good will come out of the attempt. What has Jobs done with his filthy lucre (other than buy the naming rights to new buildings for 'Sisters of the Poor' Stanford)?
And to be blunt: do you really think Steve Jobs would extend to any of us the same human compassion you're asking?
However it seems that the OSS types then get mad that any money is being charged.
Simply because if the market capture (read: effective monopoly) gets large enough, the licensing fees will only do one thing: go up. Feel free to trust the H.264 Barons not to change their minds again; I would rather have an alternative truly free of domoclean fee threats.

they can damn sure patent said shape and sue the bejeezus out of anyone daring to sell screwdrivers that fit them. Watch out, iFixit.
this walled garden is so beautiful - especially when the sunlight glints off Steve's razor wire.

PlayOgg had such a lilt to it.
Starting now, the DRM will be baked into the silicon.
You're supposed to be on medical leave!

will hear of this and leap to the hide-bound conclusion that they should increase the fees they charge Netflix by 19x.

they still smirk when asked about blowback.

that forbids Square Enix from continuing to use the word 'Final'?

Ahh, those where the days...
/Gee, our old LaSalle ran great.
Nope; it's your lease to use their property under their EULAcal whims.
Quit insulting my countries' Puritanical beliefs, you insensitive clod!
I can only imagine the plethora of goods and services such an august, benevolent organization has showered down upon all of humanity.
