against me then it will be a very serious matter and very costly.
The very last thing I want to do is give them any money because
in my opinion and in the opinion of my attorney their patent is
not valid. Now like I said to fight them will put me out of business
but to pay them the outragious fee I can stay in business. If they
would only be asking for a few hundred bucks I think I would not
even let it be an issue but to make it the high price that they
have it an basicly destroy my family's Christmas this year is
just insane.
SO this brings me back to my question
has anyone called them and what do they say??

i haven't called them to try and strike a cheaper deal, but I might next week.
I agree with you that if it was 2 or 300 bucks I'd just pay it but since it's $1,500 now and $1,500 again in January it's just too much.
When they sent the letters to everyone without specific urls or details of how they're infringing I thought they were ridiculous, but now I realise it's genius, because they were doing that just to get everyone's name and get a letter to them. Now when Acacia goes through the web and finds sites that are actually infringing they'll look up the sites owner and see if they send him a letter already. If they did then they'll start legal proceedings.
