You know I just saw this quote and it sounded interesting, what do you think?

So far, the remaining adult content providers have rallied around the The Internet Media Protective Association, set up by the adult online community to fight Acacia. Every site that licenses the DMT patents, however, must essentially pull out of IMPA; a licensee may join and assist IMPA or other efforts, but it risks paying an additional settlement if the suit is rebuffed in court, Berman said.

Only makes me wonder what the so called licensees are actually doing to support the IMPA and really why would you settle if you're going to try and support the fight against the patents? I really don't think these licensees are fighting the patents honestly, I think they essentially being big companies first in line signed sweetheart deals, turned over their affiliates and pay lower royalties. Playing both sides of the fence to save face but are they really contributing in a substanstial way to the IMPA with all the money that they saved by not litigating ACACIA?
