Luca The point has been raised many times and challenged by parties more qualified to give a legal opinion than yourself: Rigo Wenning, Legal Counsel of the W3C asserted that the existence of, and respect for, no- transform allows content providers to express their wish to avoid transformation. Content owners have rights: they can be protected. I believe that last time I pointed this out, you asserted that your own opinion of the legalities should take priority, saying "in that particular case, I believe I am more qualified than Rigo. A lawyer can say that there must be a way for websites to tell transcoders not to transcode them, but he cannot be more qualified than me in saying what those ways should be"[1] Tom [1] See http://wapreview.com/blog/?p=1837 On 12 Feb 2009, at 13:39, Luca Passani wrote: > Content owners have rights too and must be respected.
