Hi, as you may know, the lobbyist groups in Europe seemingly will force the new patent law in Europe (thanks to caretaking corporations "investing" in this tactical procedere. I am just fed up with lies of politicans actually, corporations just act somehow linear and inane...)



My questions ... - how will the Patent Issue affect the Xvid project?
And if the Xvid project will be attacked by "groups", will DivX be in the line of fire too? (Note, my answer would be no, but if someone would ask me why not, then I would find some more ~easy answers like money to defend your "rights", or match fixing with other groups... for example, those annoying adware)

And - in theory, if Xvid would be in a country like Norway, those issues wouldn't be a big problem anymore, or?
