Hi Choker and all closely following this thread.
Granted I own a paysite but I would like to offer the following analogy:
This Acacia thing is just like buying a car in 1995 and having a company sue you 8 years later for the use of "bucket seats" in that car because they hold the patent. They could claim that you sat in a "bucket seat" while delivering pizza and made money from tips etc etc. In turn they could also sue the pizza chain for hiring people that had "bucket seats" in their cars to deliver.
Would it not make sense that all companies offering digital video transmission systems would license this technology so that the people using it would be free and clear of royalties?
I realize that many are thinking the same thing (albeit with different analogies) and that is why you are here and trying to organize. I see this as yet another very deliberate and concerted effort against the industry so our differences (between serving and linking) should probably take a back seat in order to overcome the overall onslaught. However, your effort.....your call.
If paysite people are welcome in this effort I will gladly participate and contribute.
