+ <description><p>Etter at NRK
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/NRK_nekter___finne_og_utlevere_eventuell_avtale_med_MPEG_LA.html">nektet
+å spore opp eventuell avtale med MPEG-LA</a> eller andre om bruk av
+MPEG/H.264-video etter at jeg <a
+href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Trenger_en_avtale_med_MPEG_LA_for___publisere_og_kringkaste_H_264_video_.html">ba
+om innsyn i slike avtaler</a>, tenkte jeg at i stedet for å forsøke å
+få NRK til å finne en slik avtale, så burde det være like enkelt å
+spørre MPEG-LA om de hadde avtale med NRK. Spørsmålet ble sendt før
+jeg fikk tips fra Kieran Kunhya om hvor listen over lisensinnehavere
+"in Good Standing" befant seg. MPEG-LA svarte meg i dag, og kan
+fortelle at NRK ikke har noen avtale med dem, så da er i det miste det
+slått fast. Ikke overraskende mener MPEG-LA at det trengs en avtale
+med MPEG-LA for å streame H.264, men deres rammer er jo
+rettstilstanden i USA og ikke Norge. Jeg tar dermed den delen av
+svaret med en klype salt. Jeg er dermed fortsatt ikke klok på om det
+trengs en avtale, og hvis det trengs en avtale her i Norge, heller
+ikke sikker på om NRK har en avtale med noen andre enn MPEG-LA som
+gjør at de ikke trenger avtale direkte med MPEG-LA. Jeg håper NRKs
+jurister har vurdert dette, og at det er mulig å få tilgang til
+vurderingen uansett om de trenger en avtale eller ikke.</p>
+
+<p>Her er epostutvekslingen med MPEG-LA så langt. Håper ikke
+utvekslingen fører til NRK plutselig får en litt uventet pakke fra
+MPEG-LA.</p>

+
+<p>Hi. I have a small question for you, that I hope it is OK that I
+ask.</p>
+
+<p>Is there any license agreements between MPEG-LA and NRK, &lt;URL:
+<a href="http://www.nrk.no/">http://www.nrk.no/</a> &gt;, the
+Norwegian national broadcasting cooperation? I am not sure if they
+need one, and am just curious if such agreeement exist.</p>
+
+<p>The postal address is</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+ NRK
+ Postbox 8500, Majorstuen
+ 0340 Oslo
+ Norway
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>if it make it easier for you to locate such agreement.</p>
+
+<p>Can you tell me how many entities in Norway have an agreement with
+MPEG-LA, and the name of these entities?</p>
+

+
+<p>Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,</p>
+
+<p>Thank you for your message and for your interest in MPEG LA. We
+appreciate hearing from you and I will be happy to assist you.</p>
+
+<p>To begin, I will assume that you are referring to AVC/H.264
+technology in your message below, as this technology is commonly used
+in the transmission of video content. In that case, please allow me
+to briefly summarize the coverage provided by our AVC Patent Portfolio
+License.</p>
+
+<P>Our AVC License provides coverage for end products and video
+services that make use of AVC/H.264 technology. Accordingly, the
+party offering such end products and video to End Users concludes the
+AVC License and is responsible for paying the applicable royalties
+associated with the end products/video they offer.</p>
+
+<p>While the Norwegian Broadcast Corporation (NRK) is not currently a
+Licensee to MPEG LA's AVC License (or any other Portfolio License
+offered by MPEG LA), if NRK offers AVC Video to End Users for
+remuneration (for example, Title-by-Title, Subscription, Free
+Television, or Internet Broadcast AVC Video), then NRK will need to
+conclude the AVC License and may be responsible for paying applicable
+royalties associated with the AVC Video it distributes.</p>
+
+<p>Today I will send you a FedEx package containing a copy of our AVC
+License for your review. You should receive the License document
+within the next few days.</p>
+
+<p>Meanwhile, MPEG LA currently has several Norwegian Licensees that
+can be found under the "Licensees" header within the respective
+portion of our website. For example, you may find our list of
+Licensees in Good Standing to our AVC License in the AVC portion of
+our website,
+<ahref="http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Licensees.aspx">http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Licensees.aspx</a></p>
+
+<p>I hope the above information is helpful. If you have additional
+questions or need further assistance with the AVC License, please feel
+free to contact me directly. I look forward to hearing from you again
+soon.</p>
+
+<p>Best regards,</p>

+<p>Meldingen om utsendt FedEx-pakke var så merkelig at jeg
+øyeblikkelig sendte svar tilbake og spurte hva i alle dager han mente,

+<br>&gt; Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,</p>
+
+<p>Thank you for your quick reply.</p>
+
+<p>&gt; Today I will send you a FedEx package containing a copy of our AVC

+
+<p>The part about sending a FedEx package confused me, though. I did not
+<br>give you my address, nor am I associated with NRK in any way, so I hope
+<br>you did not try to send me a package using the address of NRK. If you
+<br>would send me the Internet address of to the document, it would be more
+<br>useful to me to be able to download it as an electronic document.</p>

+<p>&gt; Meanwhile, MPEG LA currently has several Norwegian Licensees that can

+<p>Selv om jeg svarte kun noen minutter etter at jeg fikk eposten fra
+MPEG-LA, fikk jeg eposten under som automatisk var beskjed på min
+siste epost. Får håpe noen likevel følger opp "FedEx-pakken". For å
+øke sjansen for at noen revurderer utsending av pakke uten mottaker,
+videresendte jeg min epost til swolf (at) mpegla.com, så får vi se.
+Har ikke hørt noe mer 3 timer senere, så jeg mistenker at ingen leste
+min epost tidsnok.</p>
