As far as I'm concerned, the paying for the use of MPEG technology, if that royalty-reaping has to be done, should really be around what created the MPEG in the first place. You shouldn't get stuck in the neck to just play the damn thing. The studio pays for the technique to encode it when they buy their equipment, you buy the playable disc/file, and you play it on whatever you can. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
