While people may hate Flash, it's the authoring tools, server software, and DRM capabilities that makes Flash attractive.
This will NEVER replace Flash because Ogg Vorbis and Theora have no capability for DRM and if a distributor were to write something, it's possible they'd have to re-release it under the myriad of Ogg Vorbis licenses in use, although it seems like the Ogg Vorbis folks would be unlikely to enforce it. That also means that you'd have to install a specific Ogg Vorbis player for each distributor, which would break the Firefox integration anyway. |
