    An easy way to get rid of Acacia

    I have an idea that would get rid of Acacia for good.

    It is relitivily simple. In life there are always harder people than yourself. In the event that someone bigger and nasty than you (Acacia) is going to fuck you up get someone who is bigger and nasty than them (Microsoft and Adobe) to kick their arse for you.

    Microsoft make Movie Maker http://www.microsoft.com/windowsXP/m...oviemaker2.asp and Adobe make Premier http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/main.html

    These people supplied the software that has now got everyone fucked by Acacia.

    If everyone took out small claims court judgement (no class action we need numbers) in every country world wide for potential loss of earning due to this software Microsoft and Adobe would be pissed and would question the vailidity of the patent that Acacia holds.

    Someone would have to be co-ordinating this in each country as people would need to photocopy the court summons that they issue against microsoft and adobe and then pass it onto this person so that they can then forward all of them to all relivant press people as the story would be great "Microsoft and Adobe taken to court a zillion times worldwide over patent issues by smut peddling perverts".

    Microsoft and Adobe have strong pimp hands and the bitch that is Acacia would be slapped.

        It would so work, All everyone has to do is on a set date go to the local court and issue a small claims court summons against Adobe and Microsoft. It would cost everyone $100 max. If 2000 people did it the pimp hand would bitch slap Acacia across the room 2000 court summons worth of slap....

          eventually, when they have enough legal precendents set... if they can gather up enough wins from enough judges against enough "patent users"... or what ever...

          then they *might* have a strong enough case to go after Microsoft.

          They need to really build it up a lot though if they hope to win that one.

            I haven't read the particular licenses in question, but most software licenses indemnify the company from this sort of liability.

              well, you would need to prove that this software is somehow responsible for the infringment of copyright material. That will be kind of tough since no one forced them to use their programs.

                    IF you got this into a US small claims court you'd never win the case so its a wasted court fee. Class action would be the only way if there were a way around the software clauses stating they aren't responsible...
