Wasn't that my question originally?  The way I now understand it (it may
be a while before I'm certain), no one is exempt with the exception of
personal users.  In other words; your uncle Vinny isn't going to be
charged for streaming your nephew's 3rd birthday party.  If you
streaming on behalf of business, you are being charged somehow by
someone to use MPEG-4.  If you are acting as a consumer, you aren't
charged.
