Hi, Bob Hannent, one thing about MPEGs / licence cost / content 'rights'

I don't use MPEG myself - I use OGG which means that anyone can watch my content (with VLC media player for example). OGG is a Free standard, which has nothing to do with price. It's about the Four Freedoms of software - in this case the freedom to run a program for any purpose. MPEG due to its proprietary nature means that content you make is actually under the control of the MPEG licence holder. Most people don't like that idea once they realise.

It's worth emphasising that the cost of Ogg licencing (and FLAC for audio too) is zero, and it delivers a superior performance than MPEG anyway. Good support on a growing range of players (no Ogg, no purchase!)

Finally, when you say that media content is surrounded by rights - were those my rights you were referring to? Not in my view. People should have the right to share and co-operate. I think you were referring to media restrictions in fact.
