I got the letter from Acacia myself earlier this week.
Acacia is doing this for a few reasons...... First, Acacia is hoping to all of these webmasters will pee in their pants and beg their sponsors to give into Acacia. Second, the webmasters who can't defend themselves will be forced to give in which will provide Acacia some money.
This isn't going to work. These webmasters - assuming they don't have any video on their sites - aren't violating anything Acaica claims to own. Acacia will say that they are promoting a company that is violating their patents. SO? (If the gas station I buy gas from is violating some law does that make me guilty of anything?)
If Acaica thinks they can take every adult webmaster to court, let them. It will cost them millions, and they will get almost nothing back in return.
