Is it time wh showed the Acacia Licensees what a "Business Decion" means?

So many have signed up to Acacia, giving them both money and credibility in their fight against the rest of us.

They looked at the cost of fighting and the cost of paying the license, they never considered the cost to their reputation or the effect it would have on their traffic flow or content sales.

WHY?

Because they thought the majority of their affiliates or customers were dumb enough to keep buying or sending them traffic. They probably never gave it more than a passing thought that signing up to Acacia would hurt them.

Well if we stop sending them traffic or buying from them and send a couple of them broke, maybe the next guy will bring into the equation things like, ethics, morality and the bigger community. He definitely will consider those things if it hits his bottom line.

Or do we do nothing and let Acacia sign up the turncoats one by one and use their money and name to screw the rest of us?
