I føljetongen om H.264 +forlot +jeg leserne i undring om hvor pakken fra MPEG-LA tok veien, og om +hvilke selskaper i Norge som har avtale med MPEG-LA. Da Ryan hos +MPEG-LA dro på ferie sendte jeg min melding videre til hans kollega, +og dagen etter fikk jeg følgende svar derfra:

+ +Thank you for your message. As you know, Ryan is currently our of the +office, so it will be my pleasure to assist you.
+ +Per your request, attached please find an electronic copy of the +AVC Patent Portfolio License. Please note that the electronic copy of +the License is provided as a convenience and for informational +purposes only. When concluding the Licenses, only the hard copies +provided by MPEG LA may be used.
+ +To your question, MPEG LA lists our Licensees on our website +according to each program. The lists are in alphabetical order, so it +is very easy to search.
+ +I hope that this was helpful. If we can be of additional +assistance, please let me know.

Selv om et epostvedlegg er nyttig for mottakeren, så håpet jeg å få +et dokument jeg kunne dele med alle leserne av bloggen min, og ikke et +som må deles på individuell basis. Opphavsretten krever godkjenning +fra rettighetsinnehaver før en kan gjøre slikt, så dermed fulgte jeg +opp med et spørsmål om dette var greit.

I can not do +the same with an email attachment. Thus I would like to ask you if it +is OK with MPEG LA that I publish this document on the Internet for +others to read?

Jeg håpet også at det skulle være mulig å få vite hvilke av de +mange hundre som har avtale med MPEG-LA om bruk av H.264 som holdt til +i Norge. Begge mine håp falt i grus med svaret fra MPEG-LA. + +

Subject: RE: Do NRK have a license agreement with MPEG-LA?Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,
+ +Thank you for your reply.
+ +We appreciate the additional explanation you have provided and for +asking our permission to publish the electronic copy of the License in +advance of doing so. Typically, MPEG LA prefers to distribute the +electronic copies of our Licenses to interested parties. Therefore, +please feel free to send interested parties to the AVC portion of our +website, http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Intro.aspx for +their further reference.
+ +As previously mentioned, MPEG LA maintains a list of Licensees in good +standing on our website according to each program. Due to the large +volume of Licensees, it would be administratively impractical to +provide this level of detail to interested parties. Therefore, I am +afraid we are not in a position to assist you with your request.
+ +Kind regards,
+ +Sidney A. Wolf +

Men takket være epostvedlegget kunne jeg søke pÃ¥ Google etter +setningen "WHEREAS, a video standard commonly referred to as AVC has +been defined and is referred to in this Agreement as the âAVC +Standardâ (as more fully defined herein below)" som finnes i avtalen, +og lokalisere en kopi fra 2007 av +lisensavtalen +mellom MPEG-LA og DivX, Inc., slik at mine lesere kan se hvordan +avtalen sÃ¥ ut da. Jeg har ikke sammenlignet tekstene for Ã¥ se om noe +har endret seg siden den tid.
+ +Jeg aner fortsatt ikke hvor FedEx tok veien med pakken fra +MPEG-LA.
