-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Deutsche version unten German version below Dear eMule User, you receive this mail as a registered member of the official eMule board on http://www.emule-project.net. This is the first newsletter and we do not send them on a regular basis but only on rare occasions. The reason for writing this mail is we want to bring current problems to your attention: A german patent lawyer registered the trademark "eMule" for a dialer related company and is now trying to shutdown or takeover major eMule related websites. Since many of our developers as well as many webmasters live in germany we consider this as a serious threat for the community and development. Therefor we deceided to work together with the first attacked website (emule.de) and go to court with the aim to remove this trademark. However beeing a non-profit project we need your support to accomplish this. Please visist http://www.freemule.net to view more background information, news and ways to help us. Your eMule Team http://www.emule-project.net -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of all things a dialer program we don't need anymore of those out there Unfortunatly if this goes bad I can see a trend starting I'm sure their going to need all the help they can get for this.
