Do you even realize how much the post and questions you ask above - backs up and reinforces the idea that matrix was hacked?

What am I missing here? Hacked or sold it still is matrix's responsibility isn't it and isn't that what people here are trying to prove?
What happened to the theory that companies who make millions have the best security?
It's quite obvisious as a server owner msyelf you shut off all outside conenctiosn to your databases, even we have done this, its common knowledge, so I am sure if Matrix has a brain they would have done this, not many other ways to hack a database if you have outside connections disabled which makes ODBC useless. The only other way is to run phpmyadmin or the likes of it and someone finds it and hacks in through it.
Either way Matrix is the leak and Matrix has settled so that still makes them a sell out that tucked their tale and ran from the real fight. I personally have no sympathy for any company who does not fight this regardless of their situtation. I personally feel its better to ignore the acacia if you don't have the funds to fight back rather then to settle with them.
Acacia will only be able to file as many lawsuits as they can keep up with and the court will not let them go in and file 300+ lawsuits at the same time, the court could keep up, so those in court right now and have recieved a summons will be thw ones seen for awhile till they are settled I would bet on it. I doubt we see any real action from acacia in the next 3-6 months till something is settled and by then the patent will be invalidated I am sure with the first case to hit teh courtroom floor.
