Sounds like you might be in countries that don't have patent offices and don't have agreements with the US.

If you are hosting with US-based ISP, then that's a different story.

Haven't heard this yet, but Acacia could potentially force the ISP to shutdown the website or slap them with a contributory infringement case.

I guess we'll know for sure when the first case hits an ISP.

Fight the Patent!
