A series of encodings on printouts from color laser printers to discourage counterfeiting? At first, the idea sounds like the urban legend from a couple of decades ago that claimed you could hear Satanic messages when you play vinyl records backwards. Yet the evidence from the Electronic Frontier Foundation is that the encodings are embedded in color printers from all major manufacturers. Moreover, the issues raised by the practice have caused Free Software Foundation director Benjamin Mako Hill and other members of the Computing Culture group at the MIT Media Lab to begin the Seeing Yellow campaign to stop the practice.

The MPEG4IP project provides an MPEG and IETF standards-based system for encoding, streaming, and playing audio and video.   Hi,   I've released version 1.6 of mpeg4ip.  This will be my last release of mpeg4ip; I am changing jobs and can no longer contribute to this project.  I will be able to answer questions about it in the forums and email list, but will not be able to actively make changes or maintain it.  The plans for what will happen to this project are not yet decided.  Working on this project has been a lot of fun for me, and I have a lot of great memories interacting with the forum regulars.   It is hard to believe that there have been almost 400K downloads of this project.  Thanks,  Bill May
