+Title: Mer oppfølging fra MPEG-LA om avtale med dem for å kringkaste og publisere H.264-video

+<p>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 dro på ferie sendte jeg min melding videre til
+hans kollega, og dagen etter fikk jeg følgende svar derfra:</p>

+<p>Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,</p>
+
+<p>Thank you for your message. As you know, Ryan is currently our of the
+office, so it will be my pleasure to assist you.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>I hope that this was helpful. If we can be of additional
+assistance, please let me know.</p>

+<p>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.</p>

+
+<p>This is useful for me to learn, but the reason I asked for the
+Internet address of the licensing document was to ensure I could
+publish a link to it when I discuss the topic of H.264 licensing here
+in Norway, and allow others to verify my observations. 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?</p>
+
+<p>> To your question, MPEG LA lists our Licensees on our website
+<br>> according to each program. The lists are in alphabetical order, so
+<br>> it is very easy to search.</p>
+
+<p>I am afraid this do not help me locate Norwegian companies in the
+list of Licensees. I do not know the name of all companies and
+organisations in Norway, and thus do not know how to locate the
+Norwegian ones on that list.</p>
+
+<p>> I hope that this was helpful. If we can be of additional assistance,
+<br>> please let me know.</p>
+
+<p>Absoutely helpful to learn more about how MPEG LA handle licensing.</p>

+<br>Happy hacking

+
+<p>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.

+
+<p>Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,</p>
+
+<p>Thank you for your reply.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Kind regards,</p>

+
+<p>Men takket være epostvedlegget kunne jeg søke på Google etter
+setningen "WHEREAS, a video standard commonly referred to as AVC has
+been defined and is referred to in this Agreement as the “AVC
+Standard” (as more fully defined herein below)" som finnes i avtalen,
+og lokalisere en kopi fra 2007 av
+<ahref="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1342960/000119312509050004/dex1024.htm">lisensavtalen
+mellom MPEG-LA og DivX, Inc.</a>, slik at mine lesere kan se hvordan
+avtalen så ut da. Jeg har ikke sammenlignet tekstene for å se om noe
+har endret seg siden den tid.</p>
