It doesn't matter if you made no money off of the site(s)... Acacia's got that covered as well. $1500 fee, to be paid yearly.
And if you don't sign a license and pay the fee, they'll charge you the $1500 and back fees for years past.
Lovely, ain't it?
The best you can hope for is that they don't really want to pursue thousands of lawsuits to match the thousands of 3-page letters they sent out.
Btw, I doubt we'll see anything done Friday. The judge has stated that there will be a hearing in March of '04. Getting a stay on the Nov. 30th thing is even doubtful, as the letters they just sent out have no bearing on the cases at hand. Although the judge *was* shocked when he asked how many more letters they had sent out and their response was "thousands".
