Comment New Protocol Must be Stopped (Score 1) 181

Speaking on behalf of the interests of the RIAA & MPAA, it is clear to us that this "new" protocol will be used only for the piracy of copyrighted materials. Sure, downloading a DVD using this protocol might seem like harmless way to pass the summer months, but the damage to our industry is incalculable. And although we are headed for another record year, we calculate that this has clearly cost us over $10 billion dollars in losses and must be stopped.

Sincerely,
Jack Valenti

Just last week I got a notice to "upgrade" TACO to 3.0 and foolishly did so. A tiny little 8KB add-on became a 3MB disaster. Now it has new features which clash with other add ons or were redundant for me. Music streaming was broken for some sites and best of all, the old version, while available (and compatible), will no longer install on Firefox 3.6.

After uninstalling it, I downloaded the source for 2.0 and was planning attempt a fix, but now I don't have to. Obviously someone else was just as irritated, to that individual I say, "Thank you."
