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.

I have to disagree with that somewhat. In my jurisdiction it costs roughly $100 to file a lawsuit. Since they have a staff of attorneys it is not like they are incurring more billable hours for each suit. In fact once they type up one lawsuit, I suspect they use that as boilerplate for similar defendants. Just change the names, address and URLs for each defendant. Not a lot of time or money there. Especially if your trolling for default judgments. Sue 1,000 affiliate webmasters for just linking from all around the country. Use the same boiler plate for each one they don?t have to be perfect. They are probably banking on the fact that out of those 1,000 linkers probably only 50 of them have enough funds to obtain transportation to California and money to stay there for the hearing.
