Well, it should never be blocky because it uses overlaping blocks and not because of the wavelets. However it is blocky anyways (at least schrodinger) on low bitrates.

The biggest problem with dirac is that it is badly tuned and low bitrate doesn't cause an unfocused picture, but hi frequency artifacts.

EU should not say anything unless they do something about "The retention of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks and amending Directive 2002/58/EC" which makes member countries pass laws that requires ISP's to save IP-adresses etc. for from 1/2 to 2 years.
