🎉 Ultimul brevet pentru MPEG-4 Part 2 a expirat! DivX și Xvid sunt acum complet libere la nivel mondial
O eră importantă din istoria codecurilor video se încheie oficial: ultimul brevet care proteja standardul MPEG-4 Part 2 (cunoscut pentru formatele populare DivX și Xvid din anii 2000) a expirat.
💡 Ce înseamnă acest lucru?
🔓 Fără redevențe sau licențiere:
Producătorii de hardware, dezvoltatorii de aplicații comerciale, proiectele multimedia și distribuțiile Linux pot include acum suport nativ de codare/decodare MPEG-4 Part 2 fără teama de taxe sau procese legate de brevete.🐧 Ideal pentru distribuțiile Linux:
Distribuțiile cu politici extrem de stricte privind software-ul brevetat vor putea include suport de bază pentru aceste formate fără a mai necesita repozitoare terțe.🔍 Clarificare importantă:
• Expirarea se aplică MPEG-4 Part 2 (fisierele vechi .avi, DivX, Xvid).
• NU se aplică formatului H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) sau altor tehnologii moderne utilizate în fișierele .mp4 actuale, care sunt încă protejate de brevete active.Pentru utilizatorul obișnuit (care folosește deja player-e precum VLC sau FFmpeg) nimic nu se schimbă peste noapte, însă este o victorie uriașă pentru distribuția de software liber și arhivarea digitală! 🎬

Welcome to the future, where AI agents hunt down alleged online copyright infringementAs readers of this blog have doubtless noticed, the latest hot tech – and investment – area involves “agentic AI”, where AI systems are allowed to operative autonomously on allocated tasks. There’s no doubt there are some exciting possibilities here, as well as some troubling issues concerning lack of control. It’s a rapidly-evolving area of research and experimentation, which makes […]

[Перевод] Лицензии слабого копилефта: могут ли они заменить пермиссивные (разрешительные) лицензии?
Среди открытых лицензий хорошо известны строгие GPL и (с другой стороны) разрешительные — MIT, Apache. Однако менее известен слабый копилефт, который находится между ними. А ведь эти лицензии имеют такие популярные приложения и библиотеки, как Mozilla Firefox, glibc, LibreOffice и другие. Подходящий ли это вариант для интеграции открытого софта с закрытым ? И стоит ли авторам ПО с открытым кодом использовать лицензии слабого копилефта вместо пермиссивных (если GPL/AGPL не подходит) ?

#News out of #Nintendo's #patent #lawsuit against #PocketPair, alleging the #GameMechanics of #Palworld are too similar to #Pokemon.
We now know the main #patents, all filed in #Japan earlier this year after PalWorld's release...
(Reminder that #IAmNotALawyer)
No. 7493117 involves #collision and #pathfinding, and seems to be mostly related to trainer battles and entering battle by throwing one Pokemon at another. It's not clear to me how this is novel or unique enough for a lawsuit.
No. 7528390 involves player characters mounting creatures and riding them around. As Pokemon is far from the only, first, or even a game with this mechanic for more than a few years, I don't see how they can claim this.
No. 7545191 is the #PokeBall thing, which #PalBalls are very similar to, so much I was surprised they did that at the game's release (#Bugsnax at least used a non-spherical trap), but again, I'm not sure how this is unique or innovative enough for a lawsuit.

Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

CW: Cost at $78. Price at $80,000
Unlike many other drugs that treat viruses, Sovaldi does not suppress hepatitis C, a virus that kills roughly 250,000 people around the world each year. It cures it.
“Normally you have a virus, and your body fights it off or your body fights it to a standstill and you just have it forever, basically, and hope it remains dormant more or less,” Laufer said. “The holy grail for every virologist is to find a way to drain the viral reservoir, and Sovaldi does this. You take one pill of Sovaldi a day for 12 weeks and then you don’t have hepatitis C anymore.”
The problem is that those pills are under patent, and they cost $1,000 per pill.
“Literally, if you have $84,000 then hepatitis C is not your problem anymore,” Laufer said. “But given that there are other methodologies for managing hepatitis C that are not curing it and that are cheaper, insurance typically will not cover [Sovaldi]. And so we’ve got this incredible technology and it’s sitting on the shelf except for people who are ridiculously wealthy.”
So Four Thieves Vinegar Collective set out to teach people how to make their own version of Sovaldi. Chemists at the collective thought the DIY version would cost about $300 for the entire course of medication, or about $3.57 per pill. But they were wrong.
“It’s actually just a little under $70 (83 cents per pill), which just kind of blew my mind when they finally showed me the results,” Laufer said. “I was like, can we do the math here again?”
