Talk:Altacast

Untitled
This article reads like a press release ("enables companies to improve business results, and consumers to personalize online communications and self-expression", "leading-edge media talking avatar technology applications") rather than a Wikipedia article. It says nothing substantive about the product or company. It doesn't seem to fit. I would suggest major revisions to this article to make it encyclopedic, otherwise it ought to be deleted. --Tom Morris 11:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Oddsockorg.png
Image:Oddsockorg.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Oddcast has been renamed Edcast
According to Oddstock.org, Oddcast has changed names to Edcast. Will edit the wiki to reflect the same. ~ Agvulpine (talk) 20:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Legal Issues
The software seems to have come into contact with a couple of legal issues. I cannot fully make it out currently I think at one point there may have been issues with mp3 and another plug-in not being able to be concurrent for some reason. I think more recently issues may have arisem with Altacast being distributed with certain encoders embedded, notably possibly AAC, and coming under the scrutiny of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), however any reliable sources knowing citing the exact details are welcome.
