Acacia question - confused
Hey guys,
can anyone tell me - if I zip the movies and surfers download zipped files, is that still violating Acacia's Patents?

According to them, yes.
This is free legal counsel given by an idiot with a big mouth. Take it for what you will and consult a real attorney.

From my understanding, they claim ownership on the method and rights to transmitting non-live video over any digital medium. Satellite, Internet, digital cable, etc...
The format doesn't seem to be relevant, but rather the idea of moving a digital file from one location to another is what seems to be covered. I'm not a lawyer, so take what I say above as nothing more than my opinion. WG

It would be a waste of time & money for Acacia to go after anyone but the big boys, so I wouldn't worry too much.

I think that would still fall under there patent... but i wouldnt worry about it.. alot of people seem to be running around frantic.. but quite franky.. i have a feeling they wont do shit.. I got my packet.. just like the others.. and it was basically a joke.. they wouldnt be sending out "request" letters.. if they accually knew they could get everyone to hand over money

Which means he doesn't really know.. One would think if you're gonna try to slam dunk a bunch of people for infringement, you would have all of your bases covered... "Probably" doesn't quite cut it in a court room.. |
