Europe is not excempt from Acacia...
Look at their international patents:

If you are in Europe and don't see your country listed, then I am sure you will be covered by EU unity, that does make you applicable to their patent claims.
I know webmasters in Finland, Denmark, and Germany have received letters from Acacia.
In the 3Q conference call, a shareholder asked if they were going to expand into Europe, and they said YES!
I think they wanted to get some licenses under their belt so they could convince IP firms in countries to take up their case.. sharing in the license fees instead of having to pay them to do the work.
It;s coming to Europe...stay tuned...
Fight the Patent!
