+ HTC One X - Your video? What do you mean? +
+
+ 26th April 2012 +
+
+

In an +article today published by Computerworld Norway, the photographer +Eirik Helland Urke reports +that the video editor application included with +HTC One +X have some quite surprising terms of use. The article is mostly +based on the twitter message from mister Urke, stating: + +

+"Drøy +brukeravtale: HTC kan bruke MINE redigerte videoer kommersielt. Selv +kan jeg KUN bruke dem privat" +

+ +

I quickly translated it to this English message:

+ +

+"Arrogant user agreement: HTC can use MY edited videos +commercially. Although I can ONLY use them privately." +

+ +

I've been unable to find the text of the license term myself, but +suspect it is a variation of the MPEG-LA terms I +discovered +with my Canon IXUS 130. The HTC One X specification specifies that +the recording format of the phone is .amr for audio and .mp3 for +video. AMR is +Adaptive +Multi-Rate audio codec with patents which according to the +Wikipedia article require an license agreement with +VoiceAge. MP4 is +MPEG4 with +H.264, which according to Wikipedia require a licence agreement +with MPEG-LA.

+ +

I know why I prefer +free and open +standards also for video.
