Restricted Multimedia Formats - wikified

[Dmitriy Kropivnitskiy]

I think there is a problem with dialog texts proposed at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormatsAssistant. Imagine a first time 
user (switching from Windows) reading this dialog (imagine that the user 
didn't just click something to get rid of an annoying window, but 
actually spent some time to read it). The first thing that would pop 
into his/her mind would be "But under Windows all these things just 
work! Why would it be illegal under Linux to play DVD and MP3? Maybe 
Microsoft is right and Linux IS an operating system for pirates?" et 
cetera, et cetera. Maybe since such an assistant is already forcing the 
user to read some text, we should come up with a good, concise 
explanation of why these things are illegal specifically under Linux.
