MP3, H.264, and MPEG2 NEWS (title edited due to it being misleading, insidious and outright evil)

> http://www.osnews.com/story/24954/US_Patent_Expiration_for_MP3_MPEG-2_H_264/

MPEG-2: "Looking for patents that were filed in 1997 or before, 6181712 was filed in 1995, and does not expire until 2018, so 2018 might be a more reasonable date for MPEG-2 becoming patent free."

H.264: "The last expiration is US 7826532 on 29 nov 2027 ( note that 7835443 is divisional, but the automated program missed that). US 7826532 was first filed in 05 sep 2003 and has an impressive 1546 day extension. It will be a while before H.264 is patent free."

Bruh. Seriously.

it's not really informational if your headline misleading tho.

patents like this are still a problem, and unfortunately will be for a long time, they really do nothing but end up holding back technology and having unintended consequences such as the problems you see them causing for emulators.

it's good to know MP3 itself is less tangled tho.

some headlines are instead saying 'MP3 is dead' as a result of this, so I'll give you that, you didn't hit that level of bias / false reporting.

Your subject line is completely misleading. MooglyGuy was fine to point out that these standards are still patent-encumbered.

I wish for you to have a long and fulfilling life, as clearly there is something responsible for your anger other than my response. I'm sorry that you feel the need to respond with such invective.

But what happens if you swallow a dead fetus with your ass, does it come out of your mouth as a turd again?
