My sponsors are fighting. I don't agree with Ac@ci@'s business plan to generate revenue by suing people. So I am showing it by pushing sponsors that have the same opinions as myself. I group Ac@ci@ with the likes of people who spam search engines.
I would feel different if Ac@ci@ was trying to improve ways of transfering data over the internet, instead they are just claiming a patent on technology that was already out there is valid by buying over the firm that originally patented it. What new technology have they come up with???
Courts will decide in time whether or not the patent that was issued should be valid. It is in our best interest, as webmasters, to help the companies already in courts to get this matter settled, because Ac@ci@ probably won't be the only using this business model. If Ac@ci@ wins, then so be it, atleast we will have fought and can look at ourselves in the mirror everyday and know we did our part.
