Check question "How is the MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License organized?" at http://www.mpegla.com/m4v/m4v-faq.cfm
What it says in plain english is that if you put some MPEG4 DIY movie of your own holidays on your own web page together with Google ads, you *have* to pass some of that revenue as royalties to the consortium.
This arguement of royalty will not be settled here...or perhaps anywhere. On one hand, they have a right to revenue from their product, and in this case, I guess you can use it free if YOU don't receive anything by their product (file format). So in a sense, we are much better off than in the old days...when EVERYONE had to buy the celuloid strip from KODAK...?
