"regarding the issue of whether or not hyperlinking to third party web sites - who in turn hyperlink to infringing content "
these guys might be able to help with the case...they were fighting with RIAA about the hyperlinks and if a site is in violation of a copyrigth and a trademark law when it is hyperlinking to third party web sites...i think that we have the same situation here...tgps hyperlinking to galleries with conent in violation of the accacia patent...

I contend that all of the above is meritless. I link to no telling how many sites that provide their own amateur made content. Based on what you are saying if anyone produces their own video and puts it on the internet they must have a license from Acacia. I can't see any court upholding that everyone in the world has to have a license from Acacia to put video content on the internet. Plan on suing everyone if so.
Choker... I say go ahead with your plans. I'm in.
