Try writing an opensource point-of-sale or e-commerce program that can directly process credit cards. You can't without spending around $20,000 for PA-DSS auditing.
But that's a legal requirement, not a licensing requirement. No one's forcing you to use H.264 from legal perspective.
How did the credit card industry get the government to pass a law for this? Its almost certainly a licensing or trademark requirement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_abuse#Prohibition_and_conflict_in_China Following China's defeat in the Second Opium War in 1858, China was forced to legalize opium and began massive domestic production. Importation of opium peaked in 1879 at 6,700 tons, and by 1906, China was producing 85% of the world's opium, some 35,000 tons, and 27% of its adult male population regularly used opium --13.5 million people consuming 39,000 tons of opium yearly.[44] From 1880 to the beginning of the Communist era, the British attempted to discourage the use of opium in China, but this effectively promoted the use of morphine, heroin, and cocaine, further exacerbating the problem of addiction.[45]
Yes, and if someone pukes out raw NSA intercept streams that show us the real name and address of the Anonymous Coward we're responding to, that would be a good thing. Even if he gets loses his job. Because information "wants to be free" - never mind the world we live in.
Its interesting how some people would rather believe one man's hearsay testimony points to some hidden mystery - but disbelieve eyewitnesses with photo and video evidence discomfiting their existing beliefs.

Well, one reason there is no Google "report phishing" or "report spam" button is Google has no one to 'report' it to. What can they do except classify it?
Once the police start taking complaints electronically from Facebook, phishing complaints from Google should be one of the next few priorities.
Facebook has 500 million users - 1/6th of humanity - with 400 million of them 'active'.
The "aussie equivalent of dialling 911" is '000'. Calling 000 and describing the offensive messages over the phone to an unimpressed emergency dispatcher is NOT 'faster' than a button that gives police instant electronic access to the conversation and identities in question.
If you use Gmail, they have a "this is spam" button - that is certainly faster than calling Google's helpdesk.
This is besides the obvious deterrent value of having a highly visible button that everyone knows puts them a click away from police scrutiny.

Well, the "Why Facebook?" part is easy to answer.

Instead of raising fees to lower the application rate, how about raising the bar for patents to be genuinely useful, innovative and non-obvious.
