Uh SSJ I'm pretty sure there are no Blu Ray Royalties.

Yet anyway.

No one in the Blu-ray consortium has collected royalties yet so that movie companies have incentives to release on blu-ray. (unless they recently changed this policy.)

 

Do you have a link?

 

I can probably find it. I read it like a month or two ago...

Ah, I guess "they aren't being agressive about collecting them." In otherwords they are only collecting some of the royalties for it... or it might not be at all.... can't tell it's kind a vague statement.

I'll err on the side of saying i was wrong.

Another interesting thing to note from the article that pertains to this however is...

"The royalties will be split among several players, said Doherty.

Blu-ray has a lot of grandfathers. A lot of people call it a Sony standard but by our estimates Sony doesn't even have 30 percent of the IP," Doherty said. The top four intellectual property holders are likely Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, and Warner."

Even so royalty collection is a great buisness.

It's a good article if you've got the time to read it.

Toshiba should sell HD-DVD technology to China.

They'd get back some of their money.
