Like I said......
This is Quoted from an XBiz Article
Quote:

The issue, according to Robert Berman, senior vice president of business development for Acacia, is whether those sponsors and affiliates provide streaming audio or video feeds and whether those feeds are relayed onto other sites. If so, states Berman, then those affiliates and sponsors are liable for patent infringement.

In most cases, if the sponsor licenses from Acacia, the affiliate will be covered," Berman told XBiz. "In order to avoid liability for patent infringement, it is in the best interest of affiliates to send traffic to sponsors that have licenses with Acacia."

According to Acacia, the webmasters that don't need a license are the ones that don't have any audio or video access from their site and that send traffic only to a sponsor that is licensed by Acacia.

The old 'Divide and Conquer' strategy....
