Someone mentioned that rarely does the winner in a lawsuit like this get attorneys cost from the looser. Well in a lawsuit you have to sue for money. Why not sue for our attorney costs plus a little more. Whatever more we get put towards further defense? If we loose the case do we really loose it?
I see all these posts "Acacia suck me" "Acacia fuck off" etc. Well if you really want to get that message to Acacia, a class Action lawsuit would do it pretty damned good IMO.

No it would be pointless IMO if someone believes they have a legitimate legal claim against you you can?t file a suit against them for attempting to collect on it. Well actually you can, but you would probably be laughed out of court. The only way you could prove a case like this would be to prove that their patent is invalid, and that they had knowledge that their patent was unenforceable against you under any legal theory. The best way for you to make a difference is to do something that isn?t already being duplicated. Namely, hire a good reputable law firm to investigate if it is possible for them to enforce their patent against people that simply link to movie galleries. Then based upon that information you can make an informed decision as to where you want to go next.
