Maybe it's just me, but I think "MP3 is patent-free" headline would get just as many clicks.

For the "standard" consumer, saying mp3 is dead will provoke more reaction as in "OMG what will happen to muh pirated music library?", while they do not care about patents.

I'd really like to live in that world.

I'm afraid I don't.
