If you have the need to pay for the sake of it you can relocate to my country, we have one of the highest taxes in the world :)
- tjogin 17y agoWhat does high taxes have to do with anything? I'm just saying that it's irrational to think that MPEG LA's plan is to sue consumers. Us being "hackers" does nothing to change those odds.

Some of us make products that may want to use h.264 and would be liable to have to pay to do so. Not as consumers, but as businesses. > Certainly, that's not great either. But no, MPEG LA are not coming after "_you_". Not if you're just a consumer, but we are not all just consumers on HN. So they might come after us.
