There or Off-Topic.
:P I chose to move it to Off-Topic because I figured this thread usually devolves into a discussion of patents and compression schemes and layering and other made-up things that sound engineers and programmers make up*. *Note: Any topic in which Lexy doesn't already know most everything, doesn't exist. | |
conframation?
after searching google i get FIVE pages (!!) of 'conframation' esque posts... and from what I've read so far, in each and every one of them it should be confirmation.. normally I wouldn't bring this up, but it was obviously spelt phonetically, thereby meaning he said it wrong... Which if I ever heard someone pronounce confirmation in such a way I would laugh at them, and probably slap them upside the head.. just wanted to bring that to your attention KON-firm-AA-shin | |
In answer to your question, the legal answer is that Dantom would have to pay for the license to use the MP3 algorithm. It's a similar situation to the GIF problem, although that's quickly disappearing.
