They're targetting adult right now because small time webmasters generally either can't afford to fight them, or simply aren't willing. They're building money right now by taking you guys out one webmaster at a time.

That won't last. There is no fucking way this shit will stand up against the mainstream heavy hitters. The whole thing is obviously fucking ridiculous, and all it takes is someone like the major news networks to make that clear in court.

Acacia's day will come.

except the nasty little thing with patents is they can be selectively enforced. Acacia could choose to never fight the big guys, stick with the small players that cant afford the minimum 6 figure sums a patent lawsuit is going to cost.

best hope is if one of the big guys gets interested on their own and convinces a court to let them join an existing action.
