  24       <div class="date">26th April 2012</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>In <a href="http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article243690.ece">an
  26 article today</a> published by Computerworld Norway, the photographer
  27 <a href="http://www.urke.com/eirik/">Eirik Helland Urke</a> reports
  28 that the video editor application included with
  29 <a href="http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x/#specs">HTC One
  30 X</a> have some quite surprising terms of use.  The article is mostly
  31 based on the twitter message from mister Urke, stating:
  32
  33 <p><blockquote>
  34 "<a href="http://twitter.com/urke/status/194062269724897280">Drøy
  35 brukeravtale: HTC kan bruke MINE redigerte videoer kommersielt. Selv
  36 kan jeg KUN bruke dem privat.</a>"
  37 </blockquote></p>
  38
  39 <p>I quickly translated it to this English message:</p>
  40
  41 <p><blockquote>
  42 "Arrogant user agreement: HTC can use MY edited videos
  43 commercially.  Although I can ONLY use them privately."
  44 </blockquote></p>
  45
  46 <p>I've been unable to find the text of the license term myself, but
  47 suspect it is a variation of the MPEG-LA terms I
  48 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Terms_of_use_for_video_produced_by_a_Canon_IXUS_130_digital_camera.html">discovered
  49 with my Canon IXUS 130</a>.  The HTC One X specification specifies that
  50 the recording format of the phone is .amr for audio and .mp3 for
  51 video.  AMR is
  52 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate_audio_codec#Licensing_and_patent_issues">Adaptive
  53 Multi-Rate audio codec</a> with patents which according to the
  54 Wikipedia article require an license agreement with
  55 <a href="http://www.voiceage.com/">VoiceAge</a>.  MP4 is
  56 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Patent_licensing">MPEG4 with
  57 H.264</a>, which according to Wikipedia require a licence agreement
  58 with <a href="http://www.mpegla.com/">MPEG-LA</a>.</p>
  59
  60 <p>I know why I prefer
  61 <a href="http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">free and open
  62 standards</a> also for video.</p>
