Smegma, I know what you're thinking. But that's different than what Acacia is *doing*.

They are serving papers on:
1. People who produce video content (providers)
2. People who display video content (webmasters)
3. People who link to video content (affiliates)

No matter what the patent says, no matter what common sense would say, this IS what they're doing. There are folks here at GFY who have no produced video, who do not have videos for download on their site, who have *only* linked to sites that have video (like an affiliate link to collegefuckfest, which has video clip samples on its site)... and they're still getting the Acacia packets.
