Who are you or I to tell Shap that he should spend his kid's college money to file a lawsuit that will drag on for years and that even if he wins he will likely not recover any damages?
I'm sure it would make us all feel better if he did that....but you don't make business decisions based on feelings. 
Ask Homegrown how many contributions they've received from people to support their fight against Acacia (little to none I'm guessing)
Ask them how many new affiliates and new joins they got because they decided to take a stand. (same answer as above)
Then ask all the other programs how much traffic they lost because they settled with Acacia. (again..little to none)
So like I said before, it's easy for the middle class webmasters to scream about what the "guys with money" should be doing, but unless it's your own money on the line it's not your place to say what someone else should do with their business. |
personally I wouldn't "expect" anyone to fight it and spends hundreds of thousands. However I would expect them to at least not do business with those types of sites or people.
To each his own though. It's a message board so people can tell other people what they think they should do, it doesn't mean they are going to do it. But everyone has a right to voice their opinion. If the person hearing it doesnt like it and it bothers him then he shouldn't be making a public post about these type of topics.
