I take it you didn't actually read my post. If Macromedia is publishing a yum repository then it really takes a disturbed mind to connect telling people about that URL with 'warez'. I don't even think the most extreme lawyer at the MPAA would do want to try that one.

I granted that MP3 support is dodgy in the US, even just pointing to a non-US repo and probably even if it had a notice explaing the patent situation and recommending it only for folks in jurisdictions where there aren't any legal issues. My point was their carrying a supportable position far into la-la land where pointing people looking for a flash plugin to Macromedia's own yum repo is a non-starter.
