Agreed. The point is not whether or not they ever pay them though, it's that they signed and signing alone strengthens ACACIA's position. Once you've signed you have basically agreed that their patents are valid and signed away your rights to contest them, that's part of the license by the way. So if you signed a license and then refuse to pay you can easily have an injunction placed against you to prevent and or fine you from using the technology.
So basically if you don't believe the patents are valid you have to refuse to sign even if it's cheaper to do so initally, then support the IMPA and together everyone can share the burden of the costs and get these patents invalidated.
