    Acacia's lawsuit against Homegrownvideo.com

    Well, Acacia is also naming us, Homegrownvideo.com in their lawsuit.

    http://www.avn.com/articles/11795.html

    That was a serious statement made by Spike here. We are going to spend a lot of money, and time on this. Because we were one of the first 39 companies contacted by Acacia, we are hoping we can be the first to to court, and WIN the lawsuit, setting the standard for every court to follow.

    It's not my place to post any information on what we are doing, but I did want to let everyone know that we are fighting.

    Has anyone else been named in this suit yet?

                      If I was the President of Acacia, I wouldn't be sleeping to well at night. It's only a matter of time before this patent of theirs gets overturned by the courts.
                      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                          If they were smart they should have kept their mouths shut and just kept using scare tatics to get ppl to pay them.

                                  Well, I'm hoping acacia wins, because I filed a patent on oxygen many years ago. I may not own all the air in the world, but everyone owes me for USING IT.


                                  If acacia wins, I'm going to sue all of you for breathing.

                                              I wish you the best of luck. But patent law, particularly pertaining to internet technologies is going to be forged in the coming years. There are no guarantees that the courts will do the right thing. Look to the example of AOL obtaining the patent for all instant messaging. Even though IRC had the technology well before ICQ. So you cannot always count on the courts.

                                              Anyway best of luck to you I hope you crush them like bugs.

                                                      IRC, unlike IM isnt in realtime. That might have made a difference although i havent seen any paperworkl to know how exactly they won.

                                                              Acacia is also taking on Global Reach as one of the first named companies. This will be an interesting scuffle. GR is no stranger to patent fights.

                                                                                  Apparently, this company lost $37 million in 2002. Since these guys have no legitimate way to make money, they decide to persue this bullshit. That's not even the worst part, in most of their negotiations, Acacia is asking for around 2% of a company's GROSS income; whether that income is derived from streaming audio/video or not. How in the hell can Acacia reasonably ask any company to give up 2% of its gross income?

                                                                                  I wish best of luck to Homegrown and any other company who decides to fight these clowns. A company which can only generate revenue by taking it from other companies should not be in existence.

                                                                                                          I think that they are targeting us (as pornographers) because they think that this way they can win easily, and stockpile money to fund further lawsuits against other big mainstream companies, like Microsoft, Real Networks, maybe even CNN, and any other major corporate company who uses/creates any form of streaming media.

                                                                                                          yeah... but to sue you...they'll have to prove that the technology is stolen.... The only way they can prove that is by winning a case against Microsoft, Apple.. etc...

                                                                                                          THey cannot prove that if the other parties (Microsoft, Apple...) are not there to defend themselves...

                                                                                                          (its like me saying that Invented the computer.. than suing computer users.... claiming to the court that I invented computers... While never inviting to court the "real" computer inventor... the only one that can prove that I didnt invented the technology!!)

They are still under ICANNs control at the end of the day... if I won a suit against someone that was offshore and they had a .com or .net domain, that's the first thing I'd move to take... especially if it was a good one.

You'll need to have to state the use any excess money in the fund (if there is any), and I think releasing specific costs to any doners should be done as well.

They are still under ICANNs control at the end of the day... if I won a suit against someone that was offshore and they had a .com or .net domain, that's the first thing I'd move to take... especially if it was a good one.
                                                                                                                                                              well isn't the whole point of going offshore to avoid the suit ? They couldn't sue a domain name.. they'd have to sue a company. What if the company is somewhere, where this patent isn't valid (ie canada) ?

                                                                                                                                                                          One thing you should know is that Acacia makes money on simply buying patents on already existing technologies, for nothing more than profit. This is a perfect time for the government to crack down on companies that exist in this way.

                                                                                                                                                                          "Software patents pose a significant danger to protocols. In some cases patents become included in protocols by accident - that is, without deliberate intentionality on the part of the protocol developer. In other cases, however, an unscrupulous company or organization may deliberately introduce patented components into a protocol, in an attempt to gain market advantage via ownership of the protocol."

                                                                                                                                                                          "In order for the protocol to play this role, anyone who wishes to implement and use it must be able to do so freely, and without restrictions. The presence of patented components within the protocol places restrictions on its usage, and therefore serves only to undermine this purpose. Furthermore, the presence of the patent brings an enormously unfair market advantage to the patent holder. By exercising his patent rights, the patent holder can gain financial benefit from competing companies who wish to use the protocol, or can stifle competition altogether by denying the competing company the right to use the protocol at all. "

                                                                                                                                                                          "Patents are applied to software, not to protocols. It is not possible to patent a protocol; in general only a process or an algorithm can be patented. However, a protocol may include a patented algorithm as an integral part of its specification. In this case, any software implementation of the protocol requires the use of patented software. That is, a patented algorithm is an inherent part of the protocol."

I say, once this thing gets put behind us, we should boycott any business with companies that have already bent over to the ludicrous claims made my Acacia and other such profiteers.

                                                                                                                                                                                      I'd disagree and say it's simply because at this stage it would mean supporting a porn company. A company like Microsoft simply wont do that another reason they went after porn first.

                                                                                                                                                                                      BTW - I'll happily donate too when set up. If all the people pushing programs donated just 50 bucks it'd be a lot of money. There's a shitload of peaople pushing porn out there now and it potentially affects them all.

A company like Microsoft simply wont do that another reason they went after porn first.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      They went after porn first because there was less of a fear of social support.. and.. by going after the smaller companies, they stand a better chance of winning due to lack of funds by the smaller companies to fight it right.. This would mean multiple wins for Acacia, which is a definite plus for their side when they do go after the big boys..

                                                                                                                                                                                                      If they went against the boys now, it would be with no 'win' history. They know they could lose because the biggies have the bucks to go on and on..

                                                                                                                                                                                                      As far as Microsoft and support for porn.. They love the existence of porn right now because they can watch & see what happens with the courts, which will let them know what they need to do.. if anything. You can bet they're watching what's happenin..
