Ugh

Fuck Dolby. I mean fuck Snap too, but with this case, in specific, fuck Dolby.

You shut your dirty whore mouth! Dolby has done some amazing things for the world of music and cinema!

While I am a big cinema and tech guy, I don't exactly know what goes into the AV1 codec of the top of my head, nor have I read the article yet, but I can bet they're not 100%in the wrong.

Eh, early Dolby is where they made real progress.

Modern Dolby is more about licensing than actually doing anything for the industry. Not limited to the codec discussion.

They are, in fact, purely patent trolling in this case.
