Don't blame Acacia for taking advantage of the law. American porno people take advantage of the First Amendment. The Patent people are to blame.

Acacia are lawyers, they have the legal right to defend their patents. That is why they will probably not have to pay your costs if they lose.

And do not even think about them going after the big guys, there is more money in the little ones and less risk.

Ask an attorney about being off shore, that might be the cheapest alternative.
