BUT, he didn't take a stand for the industry, he took a stand for himself. He didn't want to pay the license fees and thought acacia was bullshit. He got into a legal battle with them to protect himself first and foremost. Everyone else was just a by product of that.
I'll be the first one to admit when I started all the zango / spyware posting that i wasn't spending all of that time to try to be some industry savior.
The "bros" think you doing it because you want to be some "savior".
The trolls think you doing it for the attention.
In my situation, it was pretty simple. I was pissed. I wanted to expose the companies stealing from me and the only way I knew how to do that was to post about it and inform everyone else so they would get pissed. I was trying to protect my own income. Just like Far-L was with Acacia suit. No one is going to spend their time and money for the sole benefit of others.
