Yes I have a problem with that.

This industry will be paying Patent Firms for Bullshit licenses if we all follow your route. There is no alternative but to fight this as a unit, not give in and then BLACKMAIL affiliates into signing up with you.

And please tell us how do you know affiliates will not be touched, have you given Acacia a list of people they should not touch? Because if you have not that promise is pure bullshit like their patent.

Webmasters, your information is at risk if you give it to these companies. It won't be given to Acacia by Lightspeed.

Mind you now it is clear why you signed up, to squeeze out others. Can't you make it with all the competition around, have to resort to these tactics?

What ae you going to say when the next bunch of lawyers want to license a patent? Or do you think it will never happen?
