Lensman and Acacia
XBIZ: Do you have any views on Acacia?
LENS: I find it interesting that Acacia is not suing the major media companies like ESPN, NBC, CNN, and those sorts of companies. The fact that they claim to own the technology of streaming media over the Internet is something that other people claim as well. It's a long road in the patent fight ahead. Some people have chosen to settle with them. I don't think webmasters should hold it against those companies that do, but it remains to be seen what comes of this thing. I prefer to run my business and move forward. Typically, I'm more of a fighter then a settler though.
Is Lensman one that is fighting Acacia...or has he signed? He was not asked directly...so do any of you know the answers?
I personally agree with what Lensman said..."I don't think webmasters should hold it against those companies that do." It is their business and they have to base their decisions on what they perceive is in the best interests of their individual businesses...not "your" individual business.
