Not an absurd idea. The problem is the company and money driven structure not the MPEG-LA per se. Replace it with a consortium that has a general interest in innovation and not money.
- rayiner 14y agoWho would be in that consortium. Companies that have a "general interest in innovation and not money?" Sorry to tell you, but that set of companies is: {}.
- DannyBee 14y agoIf MPEG-LA was run the way it was actually required to be run by the DOJ (http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/busreview/215742.htm http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/busreview/215742.htm), we'd be better off. They are supposed to be getting independent experts, etc. The current "independent expert" has the following qualifications: "The expert helped form the MPEG-LA, helped in drafting the first MPEG-LA licensing agreements, answers questions from licensees on behalf of the MPEG-LA, has attended business settlement meetings on behalf of the MPEG-LA, and has testified before US congress on behalf of the MPEG-LA. Heck, he is listed on the MPEG-LA website as "MPEG-LA's US patent counsel"."
