And I must confess that it is not likely to change to 'available',
the usb.org simply ignores me, except for threatening letters when I
was selling PID blocks. AFIAK this is the same for the few other places
that sold PID blocks.

If it is for an open-source project feel free to contact me, otherwise I 
am afraid the only option is to buy a VID. When I did so this option was 
hidden somewhere on the usb.org website. IIRC the price was $1500 (one 
time, no yearly fee).

And you can of course ask usb.org why they don't either
- sell small PID blocks themselves, or
- let someone else do so.

If it is for a product that uses PICs as USB endpoints there is the 
option to ask Microchip for a PID. There is some established procedure 
for this, I don't know how easy it is. Let us know if this works.
