"MPEG LA announced today that its AVC Patent Portfolio License will continue not to charge royalties for Internet Video that is free to end users (known as Internet Broadcast AVC Video) during the next License term from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015. Products and services other than Internet Broadcast AVC Video continue to be royalty-bearing, and royalties to apply during the next term will be announced before the end of 2010."
Therefore, the statement in the grandparent comment is incorrect.
in fact, you won't have to pay anything as the hardware decoder is already paid for by the hardware manufacturer, and you don't owe anything for encoding the video, look it up
I will make my videos free to end users, so at this time I will not need to pay any fees. However, if I had planned on charging for access to the videos, I may have gotten into some trouble if I had not read your comment. Thank you.
Good point. That made me think. On the surface there is nothing wrong with a hello world program. However, technologies are only as effective, secure, and efficient as the systems on which they depend.
Believe it or not, I'm a "glass half full" kind of guy; I'm just paranoid:)
It would be nice to know exactly which GSM carriers use A5/1 encryption, and to what extent it is used. Is it a de facto standard, or a fallback algorithm?
IT guys always run around like self-important Star Trek Blue Shirts, but they never seem to take the proper steps to ensure -- really ensure -- their uptime.

H.264 has additional license fees for professional use. Yes, most people ignore that.
Upon further investigation, I discovered http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf Which states, in part:

Does this remind anyone else of a scene in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry?

I just find it (the counter protest) funny that something similar happened in real life.

No. Humans make mistakes; it's a natural fact of life. To expect anything to be flawless is foolish.
Sounds like you have a serious case of reality distortion To the fanboys: I'm not trolling, it's called a joke.
So in other words, this is a non-issue.
Microsoft reports that 90,000 Windows Phone 7 devices have have been used during the first week they were sold.
About time...

It would be really funny if they allowed AdMob ads. Then a censored Chinese search giant would be more open than Apple. To the fanboys: It's a joke.
They must have left out Mondays.
Did they find water? After all, we're talking about Neptune.

Yes, use twitter. They have great uptime /s
On the bright side, this could mean less SPAM in our inboxes.

No if only we could get David Tennant back...
Darn! that should have been a comma. Oh well, no one will miss a few pixels of a difference. Oh wait...
