ok, i have registered the domain name FightThisPatent.com

(got 1 vote for it from Matt, so i went with it).

The reason i went with this one is because it is generic enough to apply to any future patents that need to be addressed. It's also not abrasive to mainstream media, which is one of the target audiences to read/learn about this Acacia issue.

Until now, i have been sitting on the sideline concerning patents that deal with the internet space. Before, i couldn't get involved because they were out in the mainstream, and not so much in this smaller, community space of the adult industry.

I know that many more patent claims will come this way, as they already have, and so there will be many more "call to arms" to find prior art, or to give education/information on the issues.

I will help to take up this fight by putting up a website and actively contributing information. I also welcome those who have similar concerns to also contribute information.

I have the domain registered now, so i need to get a webhost up. I'll post it up on this board when it is up (probably also ask for assistance on graphics and design since i can't draw, but i can code)

If a better name comes up that peope feel helps to capture the spirit of this issue, we can certainly set up that domain as well.

F-Acacia.com would certainly illustrate the sentiment, but won't carry over too well with mainstream.

On a slightly different note...... I saw an E! special on Jenna Jameson and the segment i saw was about her issues with Bill O'Reilly. Jenna was very articulate in defending and presenting herself against Bill. If anyone has connections to Jenna, this would be a great issue that she could present to Bill, since she herself has streaming video. It would get Bill's attention coming from her, and once he got over the fact that the Adult Industry was being picked on for patents, he'll realize that this is a bigger issue, that could actually affect him and his use of audio and video clips. Once i get the site up with some info, it would be great way to publicize the issues to get more people aware of this.
