Maybe that's where a confusion lies then. Our Strip Kittens software doesn't include any mp3s, but rather just the ability to play them (via Cameron's dll). Yes, if we were to include mp3s with the download we would have to pay licensing fees, regardless of what method of decoding is being used. Since our software functions as a player and uses Windows built-in decoding scheme, we were able to avoid paying the licensing fees.
Again I'm no lawyer but I think you are right. I'm not familiar with Cameron's DLL but A5 uses Windows Media Player so “technically” we are not distributing an mp3 decoder with our product (just given users access to a decoder already available on their computer).
Just to be clear. You can use the built in decoder with A5 without paying a license but if you include any mp3 encoded sound files with your project you have to pay a licensing fee.
