acacia will spend millions on it's legal fight, because there is so much to gain from winning. who can afford to fight them?

At this stage court isn't involved for most people especially outside of the US. A lot depends on the homegrown case.
However as I said above you either gotta fight it or pay. There is no get out clause for the majority of people whatever country they are in.
Of course the smaller people can't afford court which is exactly what Acacia was counting on. The claims and patents may not be legal or valid but until somebody can afford to prove otherwise the law is on their side however fucked up that may be. The fact that people are fighting and using professionals in this field must have both shocked and scared Acacia.
