<a href="http://www.codecguide.com/download_real.htm">http://www.codecguide.com/download_real.htm</a> (download)<br />
&quot;According to Karl Lillevold of RealNetworks, KL Software simply re-packages <br />
RealNetworks' DLLs and distributes them without permission, which means that <br />
he believes that the codec pack is illegal. No legal action by RealNetworks <br />
has been taken against KL Software.&quot;<br />
