You mean countries that recognize software patents, right?

I did not know you were a moderator on this list.

What if  I make a page that explains the patent issues and then
provide a link to http://asterisk.hosting.lv/ from that site and only
provide people on this list a link to my site? What if I provide a
link to the Google search for "asterisk g723?" Where do we draw the
line? If that site is so illegal, why hasn't it been taken down? Why
hasn't the patent holder at the very least provided Google with a DMCA
notice?
