Never worked for them, so I guess the answer is no, they didn't fire me. Why? You seem to be obsessed with thinking I work for them, so maybe you want a job there?
Since you're making claims that your MPG's are free from Acacia's patent claims, will you be reimbursing people for their legal fees who buy your MPG's and get sued by Acacia?<a href="http://www.adultcontent.co.uk">Adult Content UK - Great British Content</a>Comment

A system of distributing video and/or audio information employs digital signal processing to achieve high rates of data compression. The compressed and encoded audio and/or video information is sent over standard telephone, cable or satellite broadcast channels to a receiver specified by a subscriber of the service, preferably in less than real time, for later playback and optional recording on standard audio and/or video tape.

FatPad,
I am just suggesting, that if you use and follow logic, and understand the difference between the file types, you will be lead to an answer or final decision that is more postive than if you were serving a streaming file such as wmv, asf, or real.
I am not asserting any certainty here becuase with the law there never is. I am only suggesting that you will be better off, and perhaps even out of trouble all together.Comment

acacia has never made a profit from what i can see, this is their one big chance to actually make some money rather than just spend it.. sure it might be mostly bullshit, but a lot of people make a lot of money bringing bullshit to a court room. (no)Comment

Maybe I should not bag on you sobe for spamming so hard if the end result is good discussion like that. That one was worth alot more than 2 cents .Originally posted by goBigtime
You guys & gals should really try to understand this...
Acacia apparently has a clause in their licensing that if their patent is invalidated you agree to continue paying them.
[I saw the Acacia packet online earlier... someone care to point this clause out?]
Supposedly they are trying to double, triple & quadruple dip on down the chain of people they request license the technology
ie:
(1) Content provider/server
(2) Paysite Operator
(3) Paysites Affiliates
(4) TGP's and other ad sources linking to affiliates galleries.
All four being asked to pay them for same piece of content.
And I'm sure if they had a big list of your members they would probably try to go after them too
Look at this companies track record.
Does it seem like they are playing fair?
Does it seem like they are trying to build long lasting business relationships with us?
If thats the case, where are they?
They are obviously aware how large this forum is....
Acacia, want to appear more legitimate to this crowd? Come say hello and address some questions, dispell some rumors.
Maybe some of that will happen on Tuesday.
Until a judge tells them what they can and can't do, assume they will come after you for anything. Assume they are claiming everything (the adult industy does with video/audio) is covered by their patents - because they haven't been very specific about it yet as far as I can tell.
But I have a feeling if you think hiding behind .MPG is going to save you, you're in for a rude awakening. I could be wrong, but my bet is they won't roll over and disappear if you tell them "Sorry guys, I've used MPEG this whole time! You've got nothin!".
They'll probably just laugh and push the papers on through the system as planned.
But the patents being justly invalidated - that's what will save you & everyone else.

Acacia is not going away. They have millions in their warchest and 14 total employees. (more proof that they innovate nothing and litigate everything). Take a look at their last filings with the SEC. $49 million in cash in the bank and they are burning about $6 million per quarter on revenues of $222,000.00. Acacia releases their next quarter earnings next Tuesday after the market closes. It will be interesting to see how things are changing in their financials.
Stepping away from the legal issues, I find it difficult to believe that the shareholders of ACTG will let them continue to burn $24 million per year with only $49 million in the cash. Granted they have lines of credit and might even do another stock offering, but logically it would seem that Acacia will have to start generating some income here or face shareholder revolt. Of course this all assumes their costs will remain as high, which is unlikely since marketing costs were $4.2 million this past quarter. Those fancy packages they sent out didnt come cheap it seems, but this cost is not ongoing. It they were to funnel the majority of their cash into just litigation, the industry has a tough fight ahead.Comment

Acacia loses this first case against the first 10 porn defendants it's over. Their stock is in the shitter now, if they lose they'll have other things to worry about - like getting hunted down by their irate shareholders.
How long are they predicting this case will take to be heard? How long do judges usually take to make a decision in patent cases? weeks? months?I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

Hey Sobe,Originally posted by SoBeGirl Video
BUt that is my point. MPG is not a streaming format. They claim to have some patent on streaming formats. Most of these formats need a streaming server. Probably all of them.
To serve MPG you do not need a streaming server. Just a hypertext link and you are off. What will Acadia do next? Sue everyone who ever used a hyperlink.
Yea, there I have it. I am going to sue anyone who used a hypertext link. I have a patent on that and I want on one hundredth of a percentage for every click.
I think that if you have MPG you are much safer from this kind of litigation.
You may want to talk to your patent attorney, I think he lied to you considering British Telecom owns the Hyperlink Patent already.

acacia went from a 23mil dollar company to and 800thou company. i am probably pulling at air here BUT think about this, they got sued for stealing another company's patent and they lost. they lost their v chip suit; maybe, just maybe they are trying to find a way to bankrupt themselves without bring any unnecessary attention brought to their books. suing on this patent may be just a way for them to lose graciously and bale out.
again, i am pulling at air but it is something to think about. if a company has such solid footing for a lawsuit like this, then there would be no logical reason in the world why they wouldn't hit the larger companies. that whole pick on the small guy is starting to sound fishy if you put the effort into reading about them.ICQ: 309756847

You're absolute scum. Probably the scummiest of content providers that I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. No, I've never purchased content from you (thank God!) but I have sent you 2 clients that purchased your whole library of videos during one of your last sales. That was probably one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.
I wouldn't trust you with my enemies child. Right now, in this very thread, you're claiming that you're immune from ACACIA and trying to convince other webmasters to purchase your content with the claim that ACACIA won't touch them either.
Fuck you. Lying to others just to pull an extra sale. I don't know what your agreement with Joe at AMA Content is, but I'll definitely take his word before yours. You'll get what's coming to you.

I could be wrong in thinking that if you serve MPG files you are safer legally with regards to Acadia. I might be wrong. I might not be. One judge might decide I am right. Another one might decide I am wrong.

So I see that IMPA is affiliated with home grown Content.
Isn't HomeGrown one of the companies that is being hit hard by Acadia?
I think they are one of the companies that does not want to settle.
So tell me RJ Sly, did homegrown serve only MPG or are they using streaming video formats such as ASF, WMV, Real?
I don't think they use MPG.Comment

Once again the content provider that can't compete talking trash again. Where are the other guys. Araon?
And the facts are that the MPG file format is not a true streaming file format. That is the fact. It was originally designed to be downloaded and then played.
Streaming files are not designed to be downloaded and played. They are designed to be streamed. Streaming is the buzz word here. The definition of which might be in question.
Those are the facts.
Get off my back, I serve MPG and I feel safer. That is the way I feel and others should too. Safer not lock down tight secure safe but safer.
Hey GFY readers look closely, you will see that a lot of the people who disagree with me here in this thread have some sort of interest in streaming vidoes. Specifically they sell the technology and would hate to see people jump ship all of the sudden for some great low priced MPG content deals.
For example it would be a shame if SoBeCams, my plug-In streaming product using streaming technology lost a few customers becuase they figured it would be better and safter just to buy 200 SoBeGirl content sets for around 1500 dollars.
With all that content why do you even need a steaming plug-in? Readers, did you consider this?Comment
