Josh, you really need to stop pushing this one. You're starting to cross the line between information and trolling. Fedora Legal feels that there is still a high probability of patent risk in all MPEG technologies, including MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. This is a widely accepted fact in the IP field, the space is so heavily patented that only the passage of time will render MPEG safe.

:Thank you for your reply. I apologize for crossing the line to trolling. This is the first time that I have seen a public comment that implies that there are lawyers who believe there is still patent risk in MPEG-1. I guess we may have to wait until December 2012 for the patent air to start clearing. [[User:Jrincayc|Josh Cogliati]] | |||
