ES: Promotor de Ogg Contraataca Contra el Cartel de MPEG-LA

Ogg Theora



(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: Después de los ataques de MPEG-LA en contra de codecs libres, Xiph.org presenta un recurso de apelación ante la FTC.

"Xiph.org pide a la FTC para hacer la práctica de patentes submarinas contrarias a la competencia", señala esta persona[http://twitter.com/ActivelogicEU/statuses/82343583239245824] que nos enlaza a una página aparentemente nueva[http://xiph.org/press/2011/ftc/] de los creadores de Ogg. Techrights publica Ogg Theora videos en una base diaria y TechBytes hace Ogg Vorbis por lo menos una vez por semana. Estos son buenos algoritmos de compresión que han sido objeto de ataques de la Microsoft y Apple-promotores del cartel mafioso conocido como MPEG-LA. Hemos escrito sobre él en este sitio muchas veces antes y también hemos creado una página wiki[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/MPEG-LA].



"Esto le da al titular de dicha patente la capacidad de impedir o eliminar de los mercados todo el que pudiera competir con sus propias ofertas."
      --Xiph.Org


Para citar la introducción a esta queja: "Xiph.Org presentó las siguientes observaciones en respuesta a la solicitud de la Comisión Federal de Comercio de comentarios y anuncio de un taller sobre las actividades normativas cuestiones, Proyecto Público No. P111204. El objetivo del documento es la ley y expertos en políticas. Como tal, se utiliza un lenguaje técnico-jurídico que no puede ser inmediatamente accesible a un público más amplio. En caso de duda, consulte a un abogado de patentes antes de publicar diatribas tiempo a Reddit o Slashdot.

"Las patentes afectan a las normas de una manera fundamentalmente diferente de cualquier otro contexto. La competencia normalmente limita el valor de una patente, con el valor determinado por la ventaja de la técnica patentada por la siguiente mejor opción. Sin embargo, las patentes esenciales para la aplicación de una norma de ganar su valor a partir de los efectos de red. La innovación a menudo no juega ningún papel. Esto le da al titular de dicha patente la capacidad de impedir o eliminar de los mercados todo el que pudiera competir con sus propias ofertas."

Como hemos señalado a principios de este año, la mafiosa MPEG-LA[http://techrights.org/2010/05/26/mpeg-cartel-and-microsoft-backlash/]ha sido objeto de investigación. Se reconoce que algo perjudicial para el público que está sucediendo allí.
