AACS Content Provider Agreement posted!

We have been anxiously watching the AACS license page, awaiting the posting of the AACS FINAL Content Provider Agreement, and it has finally BEEN POSTED. You can view the AACS license page using this link (the page will open in a new tab or window). Click Read More to view the new pricing table

This agreement reflects long-sought reductions in AACS fees that will be of special interest to small quantity Blu-ray producers. Here are the pieces that will be MOST of interest to indie producers looking for reductions in AACS fees:

Fee Category	Was:	Now:	Notes
AACS Content Provider License	$3000 one-time	$500 /yr	Provides for an annual fee option*
AACS Title Key Certificate	$1300	$500 / key	Still "per Glass Master", so be careful!
AACS per-disc Royalty	$0.04/disc	$0.04/disc	Fee has not changed

* Licensee may still elect the $3000 one-time option, but the $500/yr option will be the presumed default
Annual Fee payments DO NOT accrue towards the $3000, but DO top out at $5000 (after 10 years).
