This whole thing is bull shit.

Way back in the day I used Java Applet's to implement a JPEG push to emulate video. Then moved on to implementing AVI files.

Hell when you look at a simple animated GIF that can be construed as streaming video as well. AND there is a Patent on the GIF format though it is not enforced.

Acacia is not gonna get a confirmation on the patent I know it won't, there is no way it will happen given the back ground of streaming video technology.
However in the mean while companies that have signed are getting an advantage over those that have not and the more companies that roll over the easier it will be for Acacia to move onto Real Networks and Microsoft.

Bottom line is 2%-4% of a business...
Add 2% - 4% of overhead. Think about the future if you intend to continue work on the Internet and have ambitions to open your own programs.
Acacia is an element that is interrupting the very decision to go into business at this time and while that is happening those that have signed are getting stronger.
