Acacia - a classic prisoner's dilemma

The Acacia stuff is actually a surprisingly accurate large scale real life version of the prisoner's dilemma, complete with people playing black (signing the contract), people playing white (fighting acacia), people using the TFT strategy (boycotting companies that sign the contract), etc.

I think I'm gonna start taking notes here, this has the makings of a great case study

So far I haven't seen any people actually showing sympathy for Acacia yet

I'm seriously considering doing a study of webmasters' reactions to the Acacia situation though. Only thing I'm not quite sure of is if they'll answer surveys truthfully.

Acacia is a beautiful sexy hot chick that everyone wants to fuck for free although it seems that in the end you get fucked by her.

Some have.. almost symptomatic of the situation where a hostage finds their captives to be their friends.... (ie. companies that have settled are now in open dialogue with Acacia, and may end up ADMIRING their business model and seek to emulate it).

Hey, you must be one of the 80% polled in an AVN survey that either don't know or don't care about these issues.

Since you posted, you atleast showing that you are concerned.

No, she's your old girlfriend that you keep going back to inbetween relationships, and later find out that she had a baby, and she claims you're the daddy, and you need to pay a "baby license".

So you can either just pay up and accept the fact, or get a DNA test to confirm if it is yours.

Fight the Patent provides DNA testing for patents for FREE, to companies that are fighting against patent abuse cases.
