Yes, it is aburd about Acacia and its tactics... i believe they are claiming that since you are profiting from the use of "unlicensed" patents by the content provider, you are a "contributory infringer" and under Patent and Civil Law, they can go after you.
I don't know about the jurisdiction issues of being in canada since i am not an attorney... but your situation is echoed many times by webmaster who have contacted me with the same issue.
i came up for air in this thread, from the 12clicks vs. Fight the Patent.
i have an answer on how to fight against patent abuse cases like Acacia, but since Fight the Patent Foundation is not a working entity, i can't help in the short term.. but if people believe in my vision and the direction, then maybe FTPF could jump into the Acacia issue.
