pcworld commits no-no, recommending a codec pack!!!

[yoda313]

Check this out from a yahoo article by a pcworld mag writer:

. Videos play sans audio or image. Your codecs are probably out of date. Get multiple updates via a free pack such as the ACE Mega CodecS Pack or the K-Lite Codec Pack.

Are they just wishing disaster on unsuspecting users or what??????? Do they know nothing over there??? I have a half a mind to write a complaint to them.....

Also most packs are probably illegal due to a breach of license with at least one component. You can't just repackage some stuff however you like.

They'll be sorry they said that. Next months issue will have an article on 'Fixing Codec Problems.'

Should send them a note to place a disclaimer on the site that states "your own fault if you follow our advice"

Opps ... to late , maybe next time ... lol

Better dig out those mass lawsuit documents soon .
