tony - don't let Acacia's strategy allow you to assume they are successful. Based upon their last quarterly financial they are FAR from successful. Lets see how big these other settlements are for them in their next quarterly statement. I bet they aren't very big.
Acacia has a lot coming to them if they think they're going to get 2% of this industries gross, that is TOTALLY unreasonable licensing fees, especially considering their ONLY possible infridgers are content providers and video streamers (which don't make up a majority of the industry revenue). Also don't assume they signed a 2% gross deal with anyone they've settled with.
All I am saying is do NOT assume anything...
Especially when so many smoke and mirrors are involved!
