Talked to some guys that deal exclusively with a shitload of videos and basically they told me that Acacia is a team of 15 lawyers that boguht patents for the sole purpose of fucking the guys who will pay (us). They have 26 million aside to fight. Microsoft was contacted but they do not want to have anything to do with the adult industry.
I was also told that if anyone challenges the patent, it will be locked for 2 years in order to be reviewed. It seems that at the moment they aren't a direct thread to us. But think of all the HUGE websites that serve video (Yahoo, CNN, MSNBC, Apple, even Mircosoft streams shit on their website)
If any hosts shuts you down because Acacia email them or sent them a copy of a lawsuit filed against you/your company, I would file a lawsuit against the hosting company for illegal termination. Hell, I'd sue a host if they shut me down because of an apic notice. They have no right to terminate the agreement.
