You are fighting the BIG patent, that does not affect free sites for the most part. But Acacias claim that "providing access" to strreaming video does affect them. If we want people to contribute why not a seperate fund to address this claim and this claim only? Surely when invalidated this will further your cause. Another thing people want to see, is progress. I realize it is hard to disclose what is going on to the masses, but if you get money from the masses to fight, then you have to.
I would MUCH RATHER have this organization handle this, I do not have the free time for it. I can get behind it and rally others to do the same.

What we are fighting effects EVERYONE. We are fighting to invalidate the patents and make them disappear. The same patent that hits us, hits you and everyone else. There arent different patents for different types of sites.
