I haven't seen their name in the news lately. Are they still going after webmasters?

Yes, we are still in litigation with them but in my opinion they are taking a righteous pounding...

We got pulled in with mainstream giants and right now they are mostly still playing catch-up to us so that is why you don't hear much.

We hear those who settled have to pay monthly, that rates for some went up, that they are being hit with new patent claims, and that they have to go through regular painful audits. Let any one of those companies come forward and tell us that they made the better business decision now...

We have already knocked down a few of the patent claims. A few more to go. We still think in the end that we will get out on non-infringement rather than invalidity which means those that settled will still have to pay... and pay... and pay...

We think in the end they will try to appeal but we will continue to fight.

Hope that answers your question.

Yes they are. They got a swelled head, and started trying to take more and more until they hti some companies with deep pockets, and the backbone to fight them.

But those who settled will be bound by agreement.

Nah, I could be wrong but from what I remember they had to pay a small percentage of their earnings. I remember getting that legal type letter from them a year or two ago. I naively didn't do anything with it. Anybody else just throw it in the trash?

I wish, I actually spent 5k in legal defense fee's, preparing for an all out legal blood bath.. I never had to spend more than my 5k retainer though.. Bittersweet victory, bit good overall
