Thanks, Erik, that does it for me too, at least in the letter terms of
the law. Whether Thomson or Frauenhofer actually pursue the decoders
isn't really the point. It's that they *can* if they so desire, putting
the decoder in a dependent and shaky position.
Nevertheless, I get the impression that importing MP3s into editors,
HDRs, and so on, is standard procedure for Windows users. Is that correct ?

I've heard that Thompson has attempted to
collect license fees from
people distributing a software decoder.
I'd like verification on that story. My understanding is that
Frauenhofer has gone after only the encoders, not the decoders.
