We got the package today too - Acacia RESEARCH - "RESEARCH?!?" My Portuguese ass

If Acacia was any form of research company they would know that Michael ("Zayne E." - my husband) is a designer and that he bought sets OF IMAGES from Matrix only for use in various designs he has sold or is selling. They would also know he purchased NO videos from Matrix and has NO websites with streaming media.

The letter is a laugher - "You provide access to digital audio/video content via your website(s) without a license from Acacia, and are therefore liable to Acacia for patent infringement." Michael does?!? REALLY?!? What "website(s)?" And to make that statement as IF it were fact.

HERE'S THE KICKER: This was forwarded from our old mailing address. It is postmarked October 21. On the 22nd, Michael updated all our Whois info to HIS name. All the websites WERE in MY name. Tha package was addressed to Michael Alden, Blue Ferret Productions...a company name he only has registered with one company...guess who?

I do believe enough webmasters have received this information package/threat to allow us to band together and file a class action civil suit against Acacia for Civil Racketeering. I think a $34,000,000 settlement will end this bologna.
