Paul Forsyth	Monday 07 March 2005 3:37:15 am Its bad news all round. It is amazing that our elected european mps' have no power to say no to this. paul
Bård Farstad	Monday 07 March 2005 3:47:36 am It is still just a proposal: The draft bill still needs the backing of the European Parliament - which is unlikely to rubber stamp the proposals. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc

Paul Forsyth	Wednesday 09 March 2005 3:00:20 am Brilliant. Thanks for the links, ekke! One i would add is http://www.groklaw.net which is providing some legal commentary. paul
Tony Wood	Wednesday 09 March 2005 3:12:28 am In the EU we live in a democracy which means we have a voice... I would ask that people write to their MEPs. Trust me they would love to hear from you.. After all "you" are the reason they are there, right? To find out who to write to and explain your point. UK: http://www.europarl.org.uk/uk_meps/txukmeps/txmain.html I could not find a full list... maybe someone could post a full list for all member countries.

Gabriel Ambuehl	Wednesday 09 March 2005 5:00:13 am As I'm native German speaker, I looked into that: Coremedia requested a patent for separation of content and style, i.e. use of CSS Then there are a few patents on searching a DB (like that isn't obvious) SAP holds a patent on storing content in either a DB or an Archive (where's the difference?) Metadata patents (automatically extract metadata to generate pages). Matsushita holds a patent "Content management method and content management apparatus". Sun holds "Dynamic management of content served by an information service" (!) Apple holds a patent on a mechanism to synchronize data betweena client and a server. Essentially, all of those patents seem really braindead. Visit http://triligon.org
Paul Forsyth	Wednesday 09 March 2005 6:09:25 am "Essentially, all of those patents seem really braindead." I think everyone agrees. But the cost to prove it is prohibitive for almost all companies on this globe...
