Remember, all of these "big wins" for acacia are nothing but defendents FAILING TO SHOW UP. No judge heard any evidence in these cases.
And in the ONE case so far that a judge actually heard from a defendent party (Holio) guess what happened.
acacia's case was thrown out.
Also, I'll say this. I believe acacia will find at least two of the present defendents coming up to be VERY tough courtroom oponents.
Jeff Miller of Sunup is very smart and very aggressive. He has a history of fighting for what he believes in, and he has won lawsuits against those that have toyed with him. I expect Miller not to just win, but to strike back. Spike Goldberg will also be a formidable opponent. These guys are not laydowns, they are very sharp business people that can present themselves VERY well on the stand if called to witness. I respect them for fighting this fight while other big companies lay back and watch.

Yes but the whole Holio thing is questionable. Why
exactly was Holios case left be? Why didn't Acacia appeal? If Holio won.. then why are there defendants still awaiting a court date? Holios win could actually have hurt us. Did Holio ever bite back at Acacia? Are there still any pending cases with them in the Los Angeles court system? Following the "win" for Holio.. what other things proceeded? Answers to these questions might bring light on the Holio "win".
I have every faith in the guys that are there fighting now and their ability to win this case. Support for them is tremendous now and I wouldn't be surprised if people outside the industry were behind them. The Acacia thing seems to have created a snowball effect. Since the colleges have been put on notice by Acacia, I would expect that mainstream corporations have seen this monster coming and are being proactive in dealing with he situation before it his them head on.
