      And the funny part is that once Acacia loses in court, all these idiots that are signing license agreements will be stuck with them.

        Yup,

        Thats why they're not targeting any huge companies.

        MS, AOL, etc...

        They'd get blown out of the water before they could build up any momentum...

        Acacia is the biggest scam company I've seen in ages.

        They didn't invent shit, the go and buy a few companies with some patents and combine em to try and patent the transmission of video and audio etc... bullshit.

            As I am researching acacia, more and more Big guys are falling. Not talking about porn, but Big mainstream companies.

              You would think Lodgnet got this loked at very closely by their attorneys. This is bad news.

              Thanfully the Czech Republic is not covered by the International Patents.

              Guess we will be doing video soon, but I would rather not have it like this.



              Blowout deal. 880 videos, 2,400 image sets, plus many RAW videos. $500.

                    Looks like Acacia's business plan is working.

                    I hope Homegrown tools on Acacia in court and all the assbags who agreed to pay Acacia end up continuing to pay these licensing fees while everyone else gets to go back to streaming videos for free.

                        well I think what happened was LodgeNet weighed the costs for licensing vs. cost of fighting by going to court (not settling) and of course licensing seems cheaper. However, if they let people push them around like that, they'll pay so many royalties on gross income, their net will be inexistant.

                          You guys are missing some very important points here.

                          The AVN article states "LodgeNet now services 5,700 hotel properties with 960,000 rooms total."

                          Acacia owns the copyright (trademark, patent, whatever) for streaming movies from a server to a TV set - Mostly used in hotel rooms. This is exactly what LodgeNet is doing.

                          The diffrence is Acacia is trying to extend this copyright (whatever) to web based servers on the Internet.

                          With computers we are using software created by Microsoft, Real Player, Adobe, and others, as well as Internet protocals established long before Acacia existed.

                          Huge differences.

                          LodgeNet settled because they are violating Acacia's copyrights, plain and simple.
