I'm currently giving content to some defendants, FREE, and have given cash already and will give more.

I'm sat in the Czech Republic and do not have to give a penny, in fact a win by Acacia would have been financially beneficial for us. We could have rolled back to here and operated from here. We could have opened paysites and delivered videos without having to worry about them. There patent is not valid here.

But I chose to fight, to give a time effort and money to keep this in front of people. I was assisted by a few notably Brandon . There are things that are right and need to be fought for.

This fight is not over, we just won a round. We need to make sure as an industry we do not falter and let it slip. As someone has pointed out this would be very sad if we were to lose this because of the lack of money.

There are many ways everyone can help. Make sure you are not funding Acacia by dealing with a licensee, dealing with the defendants instead. Sending money to those who have spent so much on our behalf already.

Look into yourself and ask ?WHAT CAN I GIVE?
