Acacia: If you shoot your own content for your site you pay double. - GoFuckYourself.com

Sorry, but I have not seen this part discussed here before.

I was just reading the article that someone else posted and thought that this would be important enough to single out.

Quote:

Those webmasters who tried to differentiate themselves by providing unique content will instead pay double; Acacia requires those companies to sign both a webmaster and content license.

I doubt they will be able to double license the same company but who knows when dealing with the 9th circuit out there. lol Their track record is dismal at best with all the turnarounds they get from the Supreme Beings.

The 9th circuit is the most free speech friendly circuit in the entire United States.

If you like the first amendment of the United States Constitution, and the very principle of free speech, you should like the 9th circuit.

I don't think double collection for the same content is going to fly. At all.

Gemini · 07-23-2003, 05:20 PM

Thats true Fiction but the 9th carries it TOO far... thats why they get overturned so much. They need to find more of a middle ground. Thats what the law is all about.

This shit went beyond ridiculous long, LONG ago.
Someone bring me my fucking Acacia hipwaders.

If this wan't so damn sad, it would by funny as hell.

If you purchase videos for ONE of 5000 websites that you run, does this mean that you have to pay 2% of the gross for all your sites combined? Or is it just 2% of the gross for the site with the video.

And if you produce videos for ONE of 5000 websites that you run, does this now mean that you have to pay 4% of the gross for all your sites combined? What if you only make $20 from the video site and $100,000 from all the other sites. Do you have to pay them $4000? By my calculations you would be $3980 in the hole on the video investment.

I really hope they make the mistake of going after Larry Flynt. He would kick their collective asses to hell and back

I'm not a lawyer, or an accountant but I think it would be really important to start incorporating each and every domain name you have.

They all become their own seperate little entities. Don't get me wrong this won't protect you by "leasing" feeds to yourself etc.

But if you have a web design business as well as a paysite it might be wise to make them two completely different businesses so ACACIA can come after only the one that is involved in video.

That way it's only 2% of your paysite's gross, and not 2% of your overall company's gross that could include your design biz if you have them combined.

Anyway, just a thought.
