It can lead to the US Dept. of Education shutting down *all* of their research activities. They will be extremely unpopular where they are, and they'll have the devil's own time getting hired anywhere else.
AAC is the property of the MPEG group, and if you check their website, the only people who need to license and pay royalties arre people who make and distribute the *hardware* to create AACs. *Anyone* can distribute or stream AAC files without paying royalties.
The issue is FairPlay, and Real's need to DRM it's files, *not* any difficulty or licensing issues related to AAC.
