Can Acacia REALLY get 6% from you after November??
I am hearing more and more from guys who are calling up Acacia to make a deal. IMO this is the same as trying to remove your email addy from a spam list. You just confirm who you are. Acacia is threatening to ask for 6% plus if they have to take guys to court. Well that is not up to them if it goes to court, that would be up to a judge. And any judge in his right mind would not let Acacia take a percentage of any companies gross, he would set it up so the company paid based on their income from VIDEOS, not the companies gross. I really think too many guys are reading too much from Acacias threats and not thinking this thru.
So if you paid 1% of your gross now without even fighting, or if you went to court and lost, lets say 5% gross from revenues from video, would you loose more money if you fought and held out till you went to court? Not really, not IMO.
Think it thru people, would a court make you pay royalties based on your gross or royalties based on video income? I would imagine the court is already urked at Acacia for seeking royalties based on gross income, not jsut royalties based on their "patented" product.
All of the above is nothing more than my humble opinion. I do not recomend people to do what I suggest or imply. Talk to a attorney.
