    Wether you like it or not, some people don’t have the luxury to stop fighting, even more so right now with so-called democratic governments that brutalize, lock up and torture people for their opinions, their sexuality or their skin color.

    Ignore these debates if you wish, and disconnect from social networks if you need to rest. But don’t call for people to stop fighting when their very existence is put at risk by people like DHH, that Framework decided to support.



  • That happens all the time. There’s no way to guarantee that it won’t happen with any codec or really with anything.

    Yes, so there’s no reason to hold back on releasing updates, since it could very well happen on AV1.

    It is very expensive to defend against even when the claim is bogus.

    The principle behind AV1, once again, is to have a modern codec that is out of reach from patent trolls. Those who are part of the AOM consortium, which developed this codec, have all contractually agreed to unconditionally license all patents they hold that are necessary for the implementation of the codec.

    And those who are not part of the consortium and who would like to claim patents relating to the AV1 or AV2 codecs would have to face the legal teams of the companies part of said consortium, including Amazon, Alibaba, Adobe, AMD, Cisco, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla Foundation, ARM, Huawei, Samsung, Tencent, Meta, Nvidia, Apple, Netflix, and other large companies.

    The AV1 and AV2 codecs, after perhaps H264, are the most secure codecs available today in terms of patent trolls. Nobody has both the will and the means to attack it.
