I have a couple of questions and an idea I am hoping people will give me an opinion on -- Sorry if others have already discussed this

First off, what I am really annoyed with is the idea of gross revenue determining my license fee for each year. I have an amateur membership site that is about 75% pics and 25% video clips. As far as I see, it seems to me that 25% of my gross revenue is is due to their technology so I should pay a fee based on that, but after contacting them I have come to find that my entire website gross is what matters. Does anyone else find it stupid for them to have this kind of policy, and has anyone thought to challange their fees based on this idea?

Second, here is what we are thinking -- Since acacia doesn't care how the site is comrised, what if we divide our members site into two seperate sites, and when you sign up you are actually signing up for 2 seperate domains, one for all the pics, and one for all the videos. On the sign up page I make it so that the the fee for the pics site is $18.95, and the fee for the video site is $1.00. Then as long as I don't sell more than 49,999 memberships for the year, I'll never have to pay more than their stupid $1500 (and pray Spike and his friends can manage to win within a year or 2). Does this seem workable and a backdoor to minimize fees when those wackjobs file against me???

Last Question -- I belong to a cam circle (sex cam central) and do a live show each week -- Is my live show considered to violate the patent?

Feel free to write to me directly if you have comments and ideas
