It can be said that those that have signed have a distinct advantage at this point in the market place.
Affiliates are being encouraged to sell Sponsors under a guise of "Protecting our affiliates". This very act is damaging to companies that have chosen to fight.
Non "liscensee" sponsor programs stand to loose affiliates as the affiliates fear being targeted for liscensing if they promote a sponsor that disagree's with the patent claim.
Soon those that have signed are pretty much going to be required to trade traffic with others that have signed only and will be prohibited to send traffic to companies that have not signed.
This may come about when liscencing is re-negotiated.
Basically Acacia is interrupting the very fabric of business in our industry.
The gray area are the affiliates as they are indirectly being encouraged to make a choice and ultimatly the burdon comes right down to the people that drum up traffic for the large programs.
You have a choice to build up those that have betrayed us as comrades in the field or fight to protect foundations of not only this industry on the net but the continuation of an evolving technology that was created by hundreds of countless minds.
You are betraying those that have contributed to the technology and never thought of patenting. You are betraying companies that have evolved the technology to what it is today. Most importantly you are betraying your very business partners one by one...
Look in the mirror...
Think about this...
