Unwired page 95 has rules for Proprietary File Formats. I'm not all that tech-savvy, but I understand PFF to be akin to the phenomenon of not being able to get iTunes on a PC. I'm also of the understanding that the rules essentially imply that a mega will protect its data from public scrutiny by putting it in a format that can only be handled by the operating systems that they sell ... to the public as much as anyone.
Are those understandings right? |
