Failing that, mirroring the xiph site and/or all Vorbis resources in a 
country that doesn't allow software patents like the US?
Mirrors in general would also be handy, there are people willing to 
mirror "contraversial" content if the Fhg turns their guns on Vorbis.

I for one would mirror it, since I seem to mirror everything else.
(DeCSS, Cuecat, streambox VCR, that cyber patrol hack document, etcetc)

This might sound a bit like "Fuck the man" but not everyone has money to 
fight frivilous lawsuits, just the time and will.
