Agree on the second one, but why tf should Google force them to support vp9? If they want to save some money there to stay competitive it's none of Google's business.
- cma 6y agoDoesn't it cost Google more in either bandwidth or patent fees if they don't support VP9?
- edoceo 6y agomaybe. and that's Gs problem that they are trying to make Rs problem.
- cma 6y agoNot illegal unless it is monopoly abuse somehow.
- fuzzer37 6y agoWell it is monopoly abuse.
- cma 6y agoHow? They have bargaining power with a monopoly share. But it really saves bandwidth and avoids patent fees to unrelated companies. What part is the abuse? Should they have to support mpeg1 too if someone wants to use an old chip at enormous bandwidth costs? If it is about their DRM and not their freely licensed VP9 then I could see where it get into abuse if competitors can't use it. And I see where standing up the music service using youtube and messing up the system voice search is abusive.
