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.

100% true. Acacia are not a rich company. They can't afford to start suing everyone, especially if those people are not worth enough money.
Wait until you are served, someone had a very good point about them sending out all the letters. That was more to frighten people into paying them something so they can continue to screw the rest of us.
Going to court costs money, show Acaci they are up against an industry that is prepared to stand together not fall apart at every bully who says "PAY ME". Join those who are fighting, you can register with
IMPA for an affordable amount.
Plus if you are driving traffic or buying content, support the guys who are fighting for you and drop the ones who are helping to screw you. Cut off the money supply and Acacia will whither.
I believe this patent will be invalidated, it just depends when. But if Acacia win be prepared for many more. There are more Patentors waiting to come into this as well. Who will they approach first, the bunny rabbits or the porcupines.
Also if you sign up today for 2%, make sure that this is all you will ever be charged for anything. You sign up today for 2% and January they decide they need 5% what is to stop them?
