What my point here is this whole issue is like a movie theater. You pay for the building (hosting), you pay for the content (Hollywood Studios), but nobody seems to want to acknowledge you should pay for the movie projector that puts the movies on the screen.

Acacia isn't selling a movie projector. Acacia is trying to sell the physics of light refracting through celluliod and reflecting off the screen. The movie projector is software such as Apache, MS Media Server, whatever is used to stream RealMedia, etc.
I'll admit that I'm not particularly familiar with patent law, but is it common practice to go after consumers or manufactuers of infringing products?
