What discussions/behavior on public forums could possibly jeaprodize the IMPA's chances in court and should be avoided (ie. specifics about prior art findings, boycott organizing, etc.)?

Any downloading of video from a web server is infringement on their supposed patent. This is not limited to streaming video. Sounds ridiculous? It is, but that's what they have INTERPRETED.
The patent does not specifically say the downloading or streaming of audio/video from a web server, they have broadly extended their patent to this area and will get the test of their BELIEF in court.
Helping to find prior art is the way to help (other than giving money). Feel free to email prior art leads to me (in addition to IMPA), as I can help to weed through what i think might be good leads.
Posting prior art leads to this message board is not a good idea.
Please read my article on Prior Art and Helping out on my website for more info. FightThePatent.com is an independent website started by me, funded by me, with nothing to gain in this except trying to do what is right.
