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.

Every legal proceeding they start is going to cost them money, in many cases it will cost them more money than what they are going to get back even if they do win, which most people believe they will not.
Let them waste their money by starting more and more lawsuits. As long as people stand up against them, then lawsuits will hurt Acacia, not help them.
If no one had settled at all, Acacia would be totally fucked by now. The fact that people are settling is what gives them any power at all.
