I really don't get your sense of entitlement, that you appear to believe
that you are entitled to use for free technology that a team of engineers
has spent years developing. Every time someone plays an MP3, the
Fraunhofer Institute has received 2 royalty fees, one for the encoded
file and one for the player. Every time someone plays a DVD, a host of
patent owners have each received a royalty for the video encoder and
another from the manufacturer of the player. Yet you complain that the
developers of MQA _shouldn't_ so benefit.
