10-09-2003, 02:00 AM

only if we can raise at least another $2500 in this thread. so, simply post how much you are willing to anti up, and go through with your donation (hopefully many of you will, since so many appear to side with the IMPA - and rightly so). someone can add it all together, and as soon as we hit $2500 in ACTUAL donations - i'll donate an additional $5000.

5 bucks, 50 bucks, 500 bucks, 1000... if it genuine, it's hugely appreciated. let's see how this goes...

If you're off to grab z's I'll keep it bumped. I feel a tight ass only offering the $100 from the 'winnings' but the tax man wants a huge piece of my ass in the very near future. Hopefully though more will pop up as after all - this affects the whole industry and everyone in it one way or another.

An edit : As for the lunatic best simply not to answer him at all. His attention span matches that of his intelligence i.e. a 5yr old, and he usually soon loses interest if you ignore him.

Just a little note before. We have made a smaler donation of $400 in August, but we even not get any reaction for this. It would be very nice, if people are making any donation they will be kept up to date at least once per month about the latest news. Just something to think about.

Ok, we will extend our donation and give 20% of any sale made via paypal at our shop and we will give this month another $300

WOW, what a great thread (well most of it anyway).

For those keeping track, we received 2 donations into our paypal account in the last 24 hours. One from candyflip for $19.85 and one from magicmike for $1000. To both of you, I say THANK YOU!

For those of you that have donated previously and have not received the recognition that you DEFINITELY deserve, my apologies, that recognition will be coming shortly. I am the CFO of the IMPA and the lack of recognition is entirely my fault. In addition to my duties with the IMPA, I am also a member of the defense group (my streaming company www.ademia.com is one of the defendants fighting this to the end), and I have my other companies to run as well. I could offer the excuse that there are just not enough hours in the day, but as someone famous pointed out once, there are the same number of hours there have always been, so that would be a lame excuse.

To everyone that has donated money to this fight, whether it be $1, or $10,000, I say THANK YOU! A more formal, public thank you will be coming soon.

I ask that if you have donated money and you DO NOT wish to be recognized, please contact me and let me know.

To those of you that have donated your time (fight this patent), I also offer my thanks both personally and on behalf of the IMPA and the defense group.

Let's keep fighting the good fight, for the benefit of us all!

Hello all,

With my post at: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=184141

I have started the Pledge Drive for the formation of Fight The Patent Foundation. I am looking to raise $250,000 in pledges to be able to form this non-profit (501c3) organization.

There are some major differences between IMPA's efforts and FTPF's efforts.

IMPA is an association that is looking out for all kinds of issues that will affect webmaster's business. Patents are just one part of what they are addressing.

FTPF is only focused on patents and patent abuse cases, whether to help invalidate patents directly at the USPTO or to assist defendants in litigation with prior art and expert witness testimony.

As you read about FTPF, you will see there is a novel way that I intend to get experts to come forward to help.

It may or may not come a surprise to you, but many people in the mainstream don't like the adult industry, and actually applaud Acacia's efforts becuase they read articles in mainstream media that talks about "patents on porn" and other nonsense. When i tell people that Acacia is also targeting schools and universities like Seton Hall, they stop their chuckling.

FTPF's efforts are to spread the word in mainstream, to wake up the experts that could help provide testimony and prior art, and compensate them, not by paying them money, but by donating money to their favorite charity in their name... this is based on the idea of "Paying it Forward".

In that respect, you can think of FTPF as being a subset of what IMPA does, but i don't want to be under their umbrella, because FTPF is looking to go to mainstream to get the experts involved, raise donations from companies like Apple, Real Networks, MS, yahoo, aol, sony, etc... and not to be stigmatised as being an "adult industry organization".

When you go to my site to read more about FTPF, on the Endorsements page, you will find a show of support by Far-L for FTPF.

There is a great synergy between IMPA and FTPF. We both are looking to protect webmaster's right to have audio/video on their websites. Our approaches are very different since FTPF is narrowly focused on patents and IMPA is broadly focused on all business issues.

Please post in this thread: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=184141

You will also find a post i made about an adult industry player that has patents on exit consoles!

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

I already donated a few months ago too.

1.) Whats the paypal address to donate to.

2.) Please give some information out to the smaller webmasters that can be affected on this. IE: how it can affect a smaller webmaster and not just the big companies that are being targetted now.

I ask this because all I see to this point is people asking for money but not giving out any information on how it affects the little guys and I search but couldn't find a paypal address without giving all my information to impa.

We all understand how it affects the big guys ... but not many people are seeing how it's affecting the little guys because acacia isn't targetting them YET.

JFP dude - anything that affects the 'big guys - affects the 'little guys! Just follow the money - or the 'lack of it.

Most of us survive off the money that comes from the 'big guys in one way or another. Sponsor programs, traffic trades, content sales, and the list goes on...

It really has been explained many, many times though. First off if you use video anywhere on your own sites you owe them a min of $1500 a year (according to them). Secondly if any sponsor you are using gets hit by them (not talking the BS sweetheart deals that have been going on) it may have a huge impact on their profits and thus ability to pay you the same that they are now.

Then add to that the other companies waiting in line behind them to do the same and things start to get very worrying.
