Nils, You have a good idea. An MP3 encoding license would be of benefit to all, and Sony could get coverage in the press for doing a good thing.

Sony is already licensee of the MP3 patent... What if we "force" Sony to sub license Lame so that we finally would have legal license for MP3 encoding? This would be a real benefit for all of us! Something like everyone interested can mail Sony and gets an approvement, Sony itself will then pay the encoder license share to the MPEG consortium. > R.
