I rather hope they didn't. Bitches that caved in and signed get what they deserve.
And you are right about there needing to be more sense of solidarity in this industry. The sad fact that is more apparent in light if this Acacia issue is that too many entities, from major programs on down to individual webmasters are here for one thing and one thing only ----- the quick buck. Short-sighted, no sense of doing what's right for the industry, no thinking in the long-term whatsoever.... just "me me me right now."
I can only imagine what Acacia's position would be right now if all those companies who settled had of thrown in with the IMPA or else formed a second united front and FOUGHT. ANd what's wrong with a program asking for donations from all of their affiliates to help fund a defense? Nothing, but it's too much bother for some.
