  32         <p>I går fikk vi endelig lansert en norsk version av mySocietys
  33 <a href="https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/">WhatDoTheyKnow</a>.
  34 Tjenesten heter Mimes brønn, og ble
  35 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/NUUG_lanserer_innsynstjenesten_Mimes_Br_nn.shtml">annonsert
  36 av NUUG</a> via blog, epost og twitter til NUUG-assosierte personer.
  37 Det har tatt noen år, men de siste dagene fikk vi endelig tid til å få
  38 på plass de siste bitene.  Vi er to, Gorm og meg selv, som har vært
  39 primus motor for det hele, men vi har fått hjelp med oversettelser og
  40 oppsett fra mange flere.  Jeg vil si tusen takk til hver og en av dem,
  41 og er veldig fornøyd med at vi klarte å få tjenesten opp å kjøre før
  42 ferietiden slo inn for fullt.</p>
  43
  44 <p>Vi er usikker på hvor mye belastning den virtuelle maskinen der
  45 tjenesten kjører klarer, så vi har lansert litt i det stille og ikke
  46 til for mange folk for å se hvordan maskinen klarer seg over sommeren,
  47 før vi går mer aktivt ut og annonserer til høsten.  Ta en titt, og se
  48 om du kanskje har et spørsmål til det offentlige som er egnet å sende
  49 inn via Mimes brønn.</p>
  50
  51 <p>Hvis du lurer på hva i alle dager en slik tjenestes kan brukes til,
  52 anbefaler jeg deg å se
  53 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625321">TED-foredraget til
  54 Heather Brook</a> om hvordan hun brukte WhatDoTheyKnow til å lære
  55 hvordan offentlige midler ble misbrukt.  Det er en inspirerende
  56 historie.</p>

  77         <p>After asking the Norwegian Broadcasting Company (NRK)
  78 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hva_gj_r_at_NRK_kan_distribuere_H_264_video_uten_patentavtale_med_MPEG_LA_.html">why
  79 they can broadcast and stream H.264 video without an agreement with
  80 the MPEG LA</a>, I was wiser, but still confused.  So I asked MPEG LA
  81 if their understanding matched that of NRK.  As far as I can tell, it
  82 does not.</p>
  83
  84 <p>I started by asking for more information about the various
  85 licensing classes and what exactly is covered by the "Internet
  86 Broadcast AVC Video" class that NRK pointed me at to explain why NRK
  87 did not need a license for streaming H.264 video:
  88
  89 <p><blockquote>
  90
  91 <p>According to
  92 <a href="http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf">a
  93 MPEG LA press release dated 2010-02-02</a>, there is no charge when
  94 using MPEG AVC/H.264 according to the terms of "Internet Broadcast AVC
  95 Video".  I am trying to understand exactly what the terms of "Internet
  96 Broadcast AVC Video" is, and wondered if you could help me.  What
  97 exactly is covered by these terms, and what is not?</p>
  98
  99 <p>The only source of more information I have been able to find is a
 100 PDF named
 101 <a href="http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/avcweb.pdf">AVC
 102 Patent Portfolio License Briefing</a>, which states this about the
 103 fees:</p>
 104
 105 <ul>
 106  <li>Where End User pays for AVC Video
 107   <ul>
 108    <li>Subscription (not limited by title) – 100,000 or fewer
 109      subscribers/yr = no royalty; &gt; 100,000 to 250,000 subscribers/yr =
 110      $25,000; &gt;250,000 to 500,000 subscribers/yr = $50,000; &gt;500,000 to
 111      1M subscribers/yr = $75,000; &gt;1M subscribers/yr = $100,000</li>
 112
 113    <li>Title-by-Title - 12 minutes or less = no royalty; &gt;12 minutes in
 114      length = lower of (a) 2% or (b) $0.02 per title</li>
 115   </ul></li>
 116
 117  <li>Where remuneration is from other sources
 118   <ul>
 119    <li>Free Television - (a) one-time $2,500 per transmission encoder or
 120      (b) annual fee starting at $2,500 for &gt; 100,000 HH rising to
 121      maximum $10,000 for &gt;1,000,000 HH</li>
 122
 123    <li>Internet Broadcast AVC Video (not title-by-title, not subscription)
 124      – no royalty for life of the AVC Patent Portfolio License</li>
 125   </ul></li>
 126 </ul>
 127
 128 <p>Am I correct in assuming that the four categories listed is the
 129 categories used when selecting licensing terms, and that "Internet
 130 Broadcast AVC Video" is the category for things that do not fall into
 131 one of the other three categories?  Can you point me to a good source
 132 explaining what is ment by "title-by-title" and "Free Television" in
 133 the license terms for AVC/H.264?</p>
 134
 135 <p>Will a web service providing H.264 encoded video content in a
 136 "video on demand" fashing similar to Youtube and Vimeo, where no
 137 subscription is required and no payment is required from end users to
 138 get access to the videos, fall under the terms of the "Internet
 139 Broadcast AVC Video", ie no royalty for life of the AVC Patent
 140 Portfolio license?  Does it matter if some users are subscribed to get
 141 access to personalized services?</p>
 142
 143 <p>Note, this request and all answers will be published on the
 144 Internet.</p>
 145 </blockquote></p>
 146
 147 <p>The answer came quickly from Benjamin J. Myers, Licensing Associate
 148 with the MPEG LA:</p>
 149
 150 <p><blockquote>
 151 <p>Thank you for your message and for your interest in MPEG LA.  We
 152 appreciate hearing from you and I will be happy to assist you.</p>
 153
 154 <p>As you are aware, MPEG LA offers our AVC Patent Portfolio License
 155 which provides coverage under patents that are essential for use of
 156 the AVC/H.264 Standard (MPEG-4 Part 10).  Specifically, coverage is
 157 provided for end products and video content that make use of AVC/H.264
 158 technology.  Accordingly, the party offering such end products and
 159 video to End Users concludes the AVC License and is responsible for
 160 paying the applicable royalties.</p>
 161
 162 <p>Regarding Internet Broadcast AVC Video, the AVC License generally
 163 defines such content to be video that is distributed to End Users over
 164 the Internet free-of-charge.  Therefore, if a party offers a service
 165 which allows users to upload AVC/H.264 video to its website, and such
 166 AVC Video is delivered to End Users for free, then such video would
 167 receive coverage under the sublicense for Internet Broadcast AVC
 168 Video, which is not subject to any royalties for the life of the AVC
 169 License.  This would also apply in the scenario where a user creates a
 170 free online account in order to receive a customized offering of free
 171 AVC Video content.  In other words, as long as the End User is given
 172 access to or views AVC Video content at no cost to the End User, then
 173 no royalties would be payable under our AVC License.</p>
 174
 175 <p>On the other hand, if End Users pay for access to AVC Video for a
 176 specific period of time (e.g., one month, one year, etc.), then such
 177 video would constitute Subscription AVC Video.  In cases where AVC
 178 Video is delivered to End Users on a pay-per-view basis, then such
 179 content would constitute Title-by-Title AVC Video.  If a party offers
 180 Subscription or Title-by-Title AVC Video to End Users, then they would
 181 be responsible for paying the applicable royalties you noted below.</p>
 182
 183 <p>Finally, in the case where AVC Video is distributed for free
 184 through an "over-the-air, satellite and/or cable transmission", then
 185 such content would constitute Free Television AVC Video and would be
 186 subject to the applicable royalties.</p>
 187
 188 <p>For your reference, I have attached
 189 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-07-07-mpegla.pdf">a
 190 .pdf copy of the AVC License</a>. You will find the relevant
 191 sublicense information regarding AVC Video in Sections 2.2 through
 192 2.5, and the corresponding royalties in Section 3.1.2 through 3.1.4.
 193 You will also find the definitions of Title-by-Title AVC Video,
 194 Subscription AVC Video, Free Television AVC Video, and Internet
 195 Broadcast AVC Video in Section 1 of the License.  Please note that the
 196 electronic copy is provided for informational purposes only and cannot
 197 be used for execution.</p>
 198
 199 <p>I hope the above information is helpful.  If you have additional
 200 questions or need further assistance with the AVC License, please feel
 201 free to contact me directly.</p>
 202 </blockquote></p>
 203
 204 <p>Having a fresh copy of the license text was useful, and knowing
 205 that the definition of Title-by-Title required payment per title made
 206 me aware that my earlier understanding of that phrase had been wrong.
 207 But I still had a few questions:</p>
 208
 209 <p><blockquote>
 210 <p>I have a small followup question.  Would it be possible for me to get
 211 a license with MPEG LA even if there are no royalties to be paid?  The
 212 reason I ask, is that some video related products have a copyright
 213 clause limiting their use without a license with MPEG LA.  The clauses
 214 typically look similar to this:
 215
 216 <p><blockquote>
 217   This product is licensed under the AVC patent portfolio license for
 218   the personal and non-commercial use of a consumer to (a) encode
 219   video in compliance with the AVC standard ("AVC video") and/or (b)
 220   decode AVC video that was encoded by a consumer engaged in a
 221   personal and non-commercial activity and/or AVC video that was
 222   obtained from a video provider licensed to provide AVC video. No
 223   license is granted or shall be implied for any other use. additional
 224   information may be obtained from MPEG LA L.L.C.
 225 </blockquote></p>
 226
 227 <p>It is unclear to me if this clause mean that I need to enter into
 228 an agreement with MPEG LA to use the product in question, even if
 229 there are no royalties to be paid to MPEG LA.  I suspect it will
 230 differ depending on the jurisdiction, and mine is Norway.  What is
 231 MPEG LAs view on this?</p>
 232 </blockquote></p>
 233
 234 <p>According to the answer, MPEG LA believe those using such tools for
 235 non-personal or commercial use need a license with them:</p>
 236
 237 <p><blockquote>
 238
 239 <p>With regard to the Notice to Customers, I would like to begin by
 240 clarifying that the Notice from Section 7.1 of the AVC License
 241 reads:</p>
 242
 243 <p>THIS PRODUCT IS LICENSED UNDER THE AVC PATENT PORTFOLIO LICENSE FOR
 244 THE PERSONAL USE OF A CONSUMER OR OTHER USES IN WHICH IT DOES NOT
 245 RECEIVE REMUNERATION TO (i) ENCODE VIDEO IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AVC
 246 STANDARD ("AVC VIDEO") AND/OR (ii) DECODE AVC VIDEO THAT WAS ENCODED
 247 BY A CONSUMER ENGAGED IN A PERSONAL ACTIVITY AND/OR WAS OBTAINED FROM
 248 A VIDEO PROVIDER LICENSED TO PROVIDE AVC VIDEO. NO LICENSE IS GRANTED
 249 OR SHALL BE IMPLIED FOR ANY OTHER USE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE
 250 OBTAINED FROM MPEG LA, L.L.C. SEE HTTP://WWW.MPEGLA.COM</p>
 251
 252 <p>The Notice to Customers is intended to inform End Users of the
 253 personal usage rights (for example, to watch video content) included
 254 with the product they purchased, and to encourage any party using the
 255 product for commercial purposes to contact MPEG LA in order to become
 256 licensed for such use (for example, when they use an AVC Product to
 257 deliver Title-by-Title, Subscription, Free Television or Internet
 258 Broadcast AVC Video to End Users, or to re-Sell a third party's AVC
 259 Product as their own branded AVC Product).</p>
 260
 261 <p>Therefore, if a party is to be licensed for its use of an AVC
 262 Product to Sell AVC Video on a Title-by-Title, Subscription, Free
 263 Television or Internet Broadcast basis, that party would need to
 264 conclude the AVC License, even in the case where no royalties were
 265 payable under the License.  On the other hand, if that party (either a
 266 Consumer or business customer) simply uses an AVC Product for their
 267 own internal purposes and not for the commercial purposes referenced
 268 above, then such use would be included in the royalty paid for the AVC
 269 Products by the licensed supplier.</p>
 270
 271 <p>Finally, I note that our AVC License provides worldwide coverage in
 272 countries that have AVC Patent Portfolio Patents, including
 273 Norway.</p>
 274
 275 <p>I hope this clarification is helpful.  If I may be of any further
 276 assistance, just let me know.</p>
 277 </blockquote></p>
 278
 279 <p>The mentioning of Norwegian patents made me a bit confused, so I
 280 asked for more information:</p>
 281
 282 <p><blockquote>
 283
 284 <p>But one minor question at the end.  If I understand you correctly,
 285 you state in the quote above that there are patents in the AVC Patent
 286 Portfolio that are valid in Norway.  This make me believe I read the
 287 list available from &lt;URL:
 288 <a href="http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/PatentList.aspx">http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/PatentList.aspx</a>
 289 &gt; incorrectly, as I believed the "NO" prefix in front of patents
 290 were Norwegian patents, and the only one I could find under Mitsubishi
 291 Electric Corporation expired in 2012.  Which patents are you referring
 292 to that are relevant for Norway?</p>
 293
 294 </blockquote></p>
 295
 296 <p>Again, the quick answer explained how to read the list of patents
 297 in that list:</p>
 298
 299 <p><blockquote>
 300
 301 <p>Your understanding is correct that the last AVC Patent Portfolio
 302 Patent in Norway expired on 21 October 2012.  Therefore, where AVC
 303 Video is both made and Sold in Norway after that date, then no
 304 royalties would be payable for such AVC Video under the AVC License.
 305 With that said, our AVC License provides historic coverage for AVC
 306 Products and AVC Video that may have been manufactured or Sold before
 307 the last Norwegian AVC patent expired.  I would also like to clarify
 308 that coverage is provided for the country of manufacture and the
 309 country of Sale that has active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents.</p>
 310
 311 <p>Therefore, if a party offers AVC Products or AVC Video for Sale in
 312 a country with active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents (for example,
 313 Sweden, Denmark, Finland, etc.), then that party would still need
 314 coverage under the AVC License even if such products or video are
 315 initially made in a country without active AVC Patent Portfolio
 316 Patents (for example, Norway).  Similarly, a party would need to
 317 conclude the AVC License if they make AVC Products or AVC Video in a
 318 country with active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents, but eventually Sell
 319 such AVC Products or AVC Video in a country without active AVC Patent
 320 Portfolio Patents.</p>
 321 </blockquote></p>
 322
 323 <p>As far as I understand it, MPEG LA believe anyone using Adobe
 324 Premiere and other video related software with a H.264 distribution
 325 license need a license agreement with MPEG LA to use such tools for
 326 anything non-private or commercial, while it is OK to set up a
 327 Youtube-like service as long as no-one pays to get access to the
 328 content.  I still have no clear idea how this applies to Norway, where
 329 none of the patents MPEG LA is licensing are valid.  Will the
 330 copyright terms take precedence or can those terms be ignored because
 331 the patents are not valid in Norway?</p>

 350       </div>
 351       <div class="body">
 352         <p>Several people contacted me after my previous blog post about my
 353 need for a new laptop, and provided very useful feedback.  I wish to
 354 thank every one of these.  Several pointed me to the possibility of
 355 fixing my X230, and I am already in the process of getting Lenovo to
 356 do so thanks to the on site, next day support contract covering the
 357 machine.  But the battery is almost useless (I expect to replace it
 358 with a non-official battery) and I do not expect the machine to live
 359 for many more years, so it is time to plan its replacement.  If I did
 360 not have a support contract, it was suggested to find replacement parts
 361 using <a href="http://www.francecrans.com/">FrancEcrans</a>, but it
 362 might present a language barrier as I do not understand French.</p>
 363
 364 <p>One tip I got was to use the
 365 <a href="https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=nb">Skinflint</a> web service to
 366 compare laptop models.  It seem to have more models available than
 367 prisjakt.no.  Another tip I got from someone I know have similar
 368 keyboard preferences was that the HP EliteBook 840 keyboard is not
 369 very good, and this matches my experience with earlier EliteBook
 370 keyboards I tested.  Because of this, I will not consider it any further.
 371
 372 <p>When I wrote my blog post, I was not aware of Thinkpad X250, the
 373 newest Thinkpad X model.  The keyboard reintroduces mouse buttons
 374 (which is missing from the X240), and is working fairly well with
 375 Debian Sid/Unstable according to
 376 <a href="http://www.corsac.net/X250/">Corsac.net</a>.  The reports I
 377 got on the keyboard quality are not consistent.  Some say the keyboard
 378 is good, others say it is ok, while others say it is not very good.
 379 Those with experience from X41 and and X60 agree that the X250
 380 keyboard is not as good as those trusty old laptops, and suggest I
 381 keep and fix my X230 instead of upgrading, or get a used X230 to
 382 replace it.  I'm also told that the X250 lack leds for caps lock, disk
 383 activity and battery status, which is very convenient on my X230.  I'm
 384 also told that the CPU fan is running very often, making it a bit
 385 noisy.  In any case, the X250 do not work out of the box with Debian
 386 Stable/Jessie, one of my requirements.</p>
 387
 388 <p>I have also gotten a few vendor proposals, one was
 389 <a href="http://pro-star.com">Pro-Star</a>, another was
 390 <a href="http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/product/libreboot-x200/">Libreboot</a>.
 391 The latter look very attractive to me.</p>
 392
 393 <p>Again, thank you all for the very useful feedback.  It help a lot
 394 as I keep looking for a replacement.</p>
 395
 396 <p>Update 2015-07-06: I was recommended to check out the
 397 <a href="">lapstore.de</a> web shop for used laptops.  They got several
 398 different
 399 <a href="http://www.lapstore.de/f.php/shop/lapstore/f/411/lang/x/kw/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X_Serie/">old
 400 thinkpad X models</a>, and provide one year warranty.</p>

 421         <p>My primary work horse laptop is failing, and will need a
 422 replacement soon.  The left 5 cm of the screen on my Thinkpad X230
 423 started flickering yesterday, and I suspect the cause is a broken
 424 cable, as changing the angle of the screen some times get rid of the
 425 flickering.</p>
 426
 427 <p>My requirements have not really changed since I bought it, and is
 428 still as
 429 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Thank_you_Thinkpad_X41__for_your_long_and_trustworthy_service.html">I
 430 described them in 2013</a>.  The last time I bought a laptop, I had
 431 good help from
 432 <a href="http://www.prisjakt.no/category.php?k=353">prisjakt.no</a>
 433 where I could select at least a few of the requirements (mouse pin,
 434 wifi, weight) and go through the rest manually.  Three button mouse
 435 and a good keyboard is not available as an option, and all the three
 436 laptop models proposed today (Thinkpad X240, HP EliteBook 820 G1 and
 437 G2) lack three mouse buttons).  It is also unclear to me how good the
 438 keyboard on the HP EliteBooks are.  I hope Lenovo have not messed up
 439 the keyboard, even if the quality and robustness in the X series have
 440 deteriorated since X41.</p>
 441
 442 <p>I wonder how I can find a sensible laptop when none of the options
 443 seem sensible to me?  Are there better services around to search the
 444 set of available laptops for features?  Please send me an email if you
 445 have suggestions.</p>

 466         <p>Last oktober I was involved on behalf of
 467 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">NUUG</a> with recording the talks at
 468 <a href="http://www.makercon.no/">MakerCon Nordic</a>, a conference for
 469 the Maker movement.  Since then it has been the plan to publish the
 470 recordings on <a href="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a>, which
 471 finally happened the last few days.  A few talks are missing because
 472 the speakers asked the organizers to not publish them, but most of the
 473 talks are available.  The talks are being broadcasted on RiksTV
 474 channel 50 and using multicast on Uninett, as well as being available
 475 from the Frikanalen web site.  The unedited recordings are
 476 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MakerConNordic/">available on
 477 Youtube too</a>.</p>
 478
 479 <p>This is the list of talks available at the moment.  Visit the
 480 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/?q=makercon">Frikanalen video
 481 pages</a> to view them.</p>

 526
 527 <p>Part of the reason this took so long was that the scripts NUUG had
 528 to prepare a recording for publication were five years old and no
 529 longer worked with the current video processing tools (command line
 530 argument changes).  In addition, we needed better audio normalization,
 531 which sent me on a detour to
 532 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Measuring_and_adjusting_the_loudness_of_a_TV_channel_using_bs1770gain.html">package
 533 bs1770gain for Debian</a>.  Now this is in place and it became a lot
 534 easier to publish NUUG videos on Frikanalen.</p>
