Yes.

Oh man.

People in there.

How many lawyers are there?

To what degree does FFmpeg and VLC have to think about this kind of stuff?

Let me just at a high level, just out of curiosity.

So the meme online and the interwebs on X and Twitter and so on, and my own friends in Europe, the sense is that Europe is not friendly to entrepreneurship.

They over-regulate, there's too much bureaucracy and so on.

Is there anything positive to say?

Is there hope for entrepreneurship in the future of Europe?

Is Europe over-regulated?

From a tech perspective.

I mean, is there some paralyzing aspects?

If I look at the case of somebody I've become close with, Paolo Durov, he was blamed directly by the French government for the kind of things his, quote, platform was hosting.

I could see the same kind of stuff, basically, just as an example, VLC being blamed for the kind of videos that people are watching.

I mean, that's the pressure that people worry about because if you have to think about that kind of stuff when you're kind of just obsessed about... No, you don't think about it, and that's...

But what if they come in?

What if they show up?

There is no office.

Video Land doesn't have an office.
