Choker, everybody, STOP.
Relax for a minute.
Choker, you said: Not from some site we never heard of that comes on the scene when this Acacia crap started.
If you don't feel that the defendants in the case are the right people to support then you are playing into Acacia's hand.
We already have this organization in place. The defense group is already fighting this to invalidate the patents. This is in the works. The defense group are the companies that DID NOT SETTLE, and WILL NOT SETTLE and NEED your support to fight this.
Start ANOTHER organization and you fragment us even further and NOBODY succeeds EXCEPT Acacia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The defense group, also initial members of the IMPA are solid, and are fighting this battle and thus far, bearing all the costs. We need your support and we need your $$$. Another group simply plays into Acacia's hand.
This is the WRONG execution of the right idea. First and foremost, all of the laywers you are mentioning are mostly 1st ammendment and free speech lawyers. This is NOT a free speech issue, this is a PATENT ISSUE.
The defense group has THE FINEST patent law firm in the united states representing them. If you guys want to go off half cocked you will accomplish NOTHING and you will play right into Acacia's hands.
The defense group: Homegrown, Video Secrets, Ademia, Gamelink, AEBN, etc, etc, etc ARE ALREADY fighting this battle and along with the IMPA needs your support. We dont need yet ANOTHER organization spreading the dollars and further fragmenting our defense.
All this talk of extortion, etc, etc, etc, is STUPID. Acacia has a patent, they are not committing extortion. The defense group, and the IMPA believe that the patents are bogus, unenforceable, and that we are NOT INFRINGING. That is why we are attempting to invalidate the patents, the way you do it, in court.
Support the defense group, we win.
Support IMPA, we win.
Form yet ANOTHER organization, we surely will lose.
Contact me, or
[email protected] if you have any questions.
We need your support. We have been fighting this and we will fight it to the end were we all feel strongly we will win!
