MPEG LA charges licensing fees for people who distribute encoders. And
they may start charging all sites that offer video using codecs covered by
their patent pool, in 2010.
I think I remember something about people who offer paid downloads getting
charged more.
Figure out what the top 5 are and ask what they're paying?
