Hi,
It's chicken-and-egg. Open formats won't be adopted until there's support for them. I would certainly feel uneasy about selling a DVD, authored in MPEG format, in the knowledge that I haven't paid the royalties required to do so. Windows users may be immune to prosecution but we aren't.
Out of interest, when do the MPEG 1 patents expire, they came in mid 80s didn't they? Which might mean the patents were open now or soon? And maybe MP3 too soon?
