They’re against it. > the entire realm of software encoding schemes has been poisoned by patent royalty schemes for far too long That’s a statement against - not for. They’re saying the companies are doing a good thing and the EU trying to stop them is a bad thing. > I cannot think of anything worse for the state of media encoding on the web than regulator intervention to maintain that status quo Also a statement against - ‘can’t think of anything worse.’ (And they’re right.)

yes, those things sound like against - like I said - but this >the entire realm of software encoding schemes has been poisoned by patent royalty schemes for far too long sounds like it's for, right? If it has been poisoned by patent royalty schemes, and regulators are looking at patent royalty schemes here they must be for? Also > I cannot think of anything worse for the state of media encoding on the web than regulator intervention to maintain that status quo >I cannot think of anything worse is against, but >regulator intervention to maintain that status quo I mean, regulator intervention generally happens upending status quo, because when regulator intervention happens it means you will regulate something that was not regulated and thus what was status quo under unregulated system will have to adjust, even though of course big companies often improve standing from regulator intervention because they have the resources to handle the regulations and after a period of transition may be doing even better than before it still is the case that generally regulator intervention upends the status quo. on edit: I mean tone is also against, so I normally just go by that, just some of the words don't seem to be as against as I would think from the tone.

  I don’t know how you’re reading these sentences and taking the opposite message away! > the entire realm of software encoding schemes has been poisoned by patent royalty schemes for far too long Apple, Google, Meta are forming an ANTI-patent royalty scheme. The EU is trying to stop them. Apple etc trying to do things differently, EU trying to maintain the awful status quo of patent wars.

    >Apple, Google, Meta are forming an ANTI-patent royalty scheme ah ok, I guess that makes sense. I interpreted it otherwise because it is still using the patent system.
