Je vais suivre ci-dessous un mail donnant des compléments d'informations qui pour moi n'est toujours pas clair : ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: "Steve Syatt" <ssyatt@ssapr.com> To: <secret@free.fr> Subject: mp3 licensing Date sent: 2002年8月28日 11:44:11 -0700 I am the public relations person for Thomson multimedia (mp3 licensing) and was copied on your email. Please take a look below at the company statement response from Thmomson multimedia regarding the Slashdot posting - which was written by someone who completely misunderstood the mp3 licensing program! Most important, there is no change whatsoever to the mp3 licensing program, which has pretty much stayed intact since its inception in 1995! Please stay with mp3 - it has always been Thomson's biggest objective to be totally accessible and fair to the consumer, and always will be! Sincerely, Steve Syatt SSA Public Relations (for Thomson multimedia, mp3 Licensing) Statement from Thomson Multimedia, mp3 Licensing In a posting appearing Tuesday August 27, 2002 on the Web site ‘slashdot.org,’ an individual cited a change in the mp3 license fee structure of Thomson and Fraunhofer. The writer of the post apparently misread the mp3 licensing conditions, as Thomson’s mp3 licensing policy has not experienced any change. To clarify, since the beginning of our mp3 licensing program in 1995, Thomson has never charged a per unit royalty for freely distributed software decoders. For commercially sold decoders – primarily hardware mp3 players – the per-unit royalty has always been in place since the beginning of the program. Therefore, there is no change in our licensing policy and we continue to believe that the royalty fees of .75 cents per mp3 player (on average selling over 200ドル dollars) has no measurable impact on the consumer experience. ------- End of forwarded message -------
