Please understand that we too are frustrated and personal [sic] hurt by all this. Based on strong evidence, it appears that somehow information entered into your database at MATRIX - for the purpose of BUYING or CONSIDERING buying content from you, was given to Acacia and USED AGAINST US.
YOU = ***** or ******** or ****** or SOMETHING.
Put yourself in our shoes, the injured masses, and quit worrying about your own ego for a second.
If you want to clear it up, answer these questions:
1. Have you EVER shared your customer list with another party?
2. When was the LAST time you shared your customer list?
3. Have you required all of your employees and people with [any conceivable method of gaining] access to your customer database to sign a statement under penalty of perjury that they did not divulge this information?
4. Have you asked Acacis if they are using your customer list?
5. What are you doing to get to the bottom of this besides posting accusation of slander on GFY?
You can assert that Acacia would be 'stupid' to use the list, but I personally think that a company would be a STUPID COLLABORATIONIST to settle with a company with such pissant patent claims and business practices as Acacia.
I think you sold the industry out for yourself by settling with Acacia and not fighting it. I'd hate to be in a foxhole with you.
You need a good attorney to figure this situation out for you, not a PR campaign on message boards.

Resonableness.. I like the questions here.. and mind you .. they should be asked of EVERY sponsor and billing company we ALL use. I'm going to add some of your questions to my email questionnaire to be sent to everyone?s sponsors and billing company. Thanks for your useful contribution.
