[M4IF Discuss] FW: MPEG-4 Audio Licensing begins

[Rob Koenen (M4IF)]

Holger,
I wouldn't know; who pays licensing fees is none of my business. 
Some licenses have a threshold that may apply. Some information is on
licensors' websites. 
You should ask the people that make software available if you really want to
know. 
Kind Regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,
just curious,
are all these companies/institutions/projects/individuals offering public
download MPEG-4 stuff paying
MPEG-LA /System /Audio/Video fees ?
Or are these downloads are somehow illegal offerings, or will these free
downloads stop at the end of the year because of the initial grace periods
and they all get sued ?
What is for example with Divx Networks, MPEG4IP - mp4creator, IBM's
Authoring tools ?
and btw how to measure royalties for encoders, especially Systems encoders
producing scene graph files
which can run an endless animations ?
Greetings
Holger

I tired to send this message to the news list twice yesterday, but there are
some problems with that list. 
Hopefully thisd does work.

M4IF News Readers, 
The news that MPEG-4 Audio licensing has begun was just released on the news
wire. 
I think this is great news for MPEG-4 Audio, which includes MPEG-4 AAC. I
hope - and expect - that this will enable deployment of many interoperable
services and devices with great audio quality. 
Kind Regards, 
Rob Koenen
