You might want to phone Acacia and ask yourself (just don't tell them who you work for), see what they tell you.

BRISK,
We actually helped LFP and Vivid negotiate the settlement agreements and I've spoken with Rob Berman on several occasions to clarify certain issues. This was one of those issues.
He told me and our contract states that our affiliates will NOT be held liable for contributing to patent infringement for the traffic they send to us.
Now, if we have an affiliate who is also sending traffic elsewhere, they could be infringing with that traffic and they could be liable for the revenue associated with that traffic.
