If you go to court they are not going to file an injunction to prevent you from using the technology, the only people that were ever shut down were the people that didn't go to court. The reason they accept the license fees is because they figure it's cheaper and they will play both sides of the fence. These big companies that accept licenses right now are doing so for cheaper royalties and sweeter deals only strengthening ACACIA's case and they are doing it to sell everyone out. It's pretty simple really, it's all about money and if you trust anyone in this biz to tell you the truth then you'll always get fucked.
