At this point the prudent move for us is to do nothing and continue to exist. Which has actually worked out surprisingly well for us so far.
We've never run into anyone significant who's first reaction is to run to PR people and lobbyists. The PRC is hardly western media friendly and the poor IWF clearly isn't used to people caring about them. The hard Christian right we ran into back in what may? weren't interested in having any impact on the wider media. The various German people have tended not to realise what they are getting into. It's actually quite hard to come up with a company or group that is both rich and media savy that we could end up seriously inconveniencing. School text book people perhaps? Getty might be a candidate but their problem is more the internet as a whole(and since they are still worth a couple of billion they would appear to be surviving that). The pictures of Mohamed thing was already overdone by the time it reached us but some religious groups might be a risk factor I suppose.
