With all controversy about the CNR service and all of the negative feedback this idea has recieved, it dosen't look like it is really going to happen. This hurts the US users that legally wan't to play restricted formats like DVD and Mp3. and im sure if the big media companies have there ways, things like decss & w32codecs will soon be illegal in other country's as well. Since all the protected formats are media related, im proposing this a licensed all in one media player package that is available for purchase from Canonical, that is just an addon package that can be installed separately if the user chooses to. This way Ubuntu will always be free and people that don't want/need this aren't required to purchase it. This way the profits from the sell of this media player package, will help fund the future development of ubuntu, and this addon can fill the gap that users in countries with strict copyright laws have.
