Good points. In addition, this is a company of 22 idiot lawyers with little money to spend. Let's bleed them dry. If you are more than a few hours from So California, ignore them. They don't have the staff or the money to deal with a jury trial in a million different jurisdictions. They are at our mercy to cave in to a threatening letter. Considering that they didn't have the resources to even verify if a site had video, it's obvious they are desperate.
Give the lack of research in to which sites have video, I'm betting they spent as much (little) effort doing prior art searches.

RiverRat has analyzed it very succintly.
Don't ignore the lawsuit. Make them prove their case to a jury in your locality. Do NOT take a default judgment. See them in the courtroom, belly-to-belly.
You are MUCH stronger than you realize. Remember, everyone in the jury will have seen video streamed to their computer on the internet. They WILL wonder why you are being called an infringer by this outsider company who doesn't have the balls to take on microsoft. All juries will have college kids in the jury pool---who have computers, and have seen video streamed online.
Acacia does not stand a chance in front of a jury. Not a chance!
