Comment on Vimeo isn’t always the answer by Mate Srsen

Hello, lovely work on the video clips there! Also a sensible attitude towards video on the Web.

But I would like to note that even though for us Firefox users the codec issue matters (well, for the power users who know and care about such things), that does not automatically make us zealots. Just because I believe that Theora is ethically and legally the right choice does not mean I don’t understand business realities, or that I don’t recognize the superiority of H.264 in the purely technical sense. But what I believe most firmly is that this is a technical problem that can be resolved by technical means, and through cooperation of all sides, with an eye towards the legitimate reasons each side has for its stance on the issue.

Well, Google releasing VP8 into the public domain would also help. But in any case there’s a way out of here if cool heads manage to prevail.
