Actually if you use your camera for video it's free for personal use.
If you use the footage in any commercial manner, though, the MPEG LA [1] may want to have a word with you.

- _0ffh 8y agoFirst, this analogy is broken, in that the MPEG LA is not the manufacturer of your camera. Second, you may still use that footage in any commercial manner, royality free. At worst, you need to transcode it into any open standard. The footage is always yours, only the encoding might be encumbered.
- tjoff 8y agoGood point, though a bit unrelated? MPEG LA won't get copyright on my material. It's just that the format used is patent encumbered. I guess I could just transcode it to a different format and be safe?
