I have to start off by saying I am not on Acacia's side and everyone of you should know that by now, but I do have some wondering to do about the prior art finds (which is by the way a great job dude, keep it up).
Ok I watched both videos that were pasted here and I all I could find in them was that someone created a technology to send live video, compressed video and video emails through atm rings and networking, I could not find any claim in either video that they were sending compressed video through teh internet which is exactly waht Acacia claims in their patent is the delivery of and streaming of compressed video by way of the internet, technically an inhouse network is not the internet.
I truely hope I am wrong about this and if I am please someone point it out because I would love nothing more then to see Acacia suck on monkey nuts, but I could not find any reason in either video to invalidate their patent.
Maybe Brandon or Far-L has a better point on this then me but I was just pointing out waht I seen in the videos, hopefully someone can prove me wrong and in a hurry

Read their patents
http://www.acaciatechnologies.com/uspatents_all.htm
Here is a synapses out of their patent..it is NOT the complete patent but gives an overview:
19. A distribution method responsive to requests from a user identifying items in a transmission system containing information to be sent from the transmission system to receiving systems at remote locations, the method comprising the steps of:
storing, in the transmission system, information from items in a compressed data form, the information including an identification code and being placed into ordered data blocks;
sending a request, by the user to the transmission system, for at least a part of the stored information to be transmitted to the one of the receiving systems at one of the remote location selected by the user;
sending at least a portion of the stored information from the transmission system to the receiving system at the selected remote location;
receiving the sent information by the receiving system at the selected remote location;
storing a complete copy of the received information in the receiving system at the selected remote location; and
playing back the stored copy of the information using the receiving system at the selected remote location at a time requested by the user.
If you do a search in their patent the word INTERNET is not listed at all. This patent is very vague. Internet would be the "receiving system" in the patent.
Contribute and look for prior art ( before 1990 ) that covers the above issues!! We can do this!
