Er... i'm pretty sure the article was in reference to the manufacturers of products rather than the public. In which case they need to licence the codec - just as you do for certain image file standards. Maybe i'm wrong.


baaaaa, codecs, pay for um, its a black mailing con, surely if you need a codec it should be free, full stop.
these peeps keep piling on more and more for what ?? there should be GLOBAL codecs that they all have to use, theyve turned watching a vid, listening to sounds into a very lucrative black art !!!!
as far as im concerned, its a bit like buying say, a chinese manufactured radio, only to find out when you turn it on, its in chinese !!!! oooooooooo sorry sir you need the english voice codec, thatll be £xxx, thanks very much, do call again sir, FFS its a total rip off !!!!
