How about a membership site that costs a certain affordable amount (so the little guys can get in on it, too) and content guys could pledge their support by offering free content and/or content discounts to members every month. That way, the little guys who have trouble just affording content would feel more justified in pledging their support because they wouldn't JUST be donating money but they'd be getting the content they need, too. Just a though. It might help get more of the little guys involved and it would give a way for content providers to pledge their support.

I have already donated a little a few weeks ago, and right now I'm saving up for the monster of Photoshop CS ($649 plus shipping!), but you can count on another donation from me soon. I was about to open a paysite and I've had to hold it off now because I REFUSE to give one red cent to Acacia's extortionist group and I really don't want to run a paysite that has only pictures. I'm mad as hell that I have to put my plans on hold because I've been buying content for this site for YEARS now, struggling and scrimping and saving, and now that I have enough content to open it I can't afford to because I can't (or won't) pay $1500 to a bunch of extortionists. The sooner this ship goes down, the sooner I can get back to business. :)

I will also try to donate to FightThePatent soon. Good luck, guys. We're all counting on ya :)

Excellent idea.

This will get blown away, or there will be a lot fewer people in the business, when it is we should put up a hall of fame for those that gave to the fight and a hall of shame for those that gave to the enemy.

people like quiet will be remembered for helping get an extra $2500 to the cause, you will be remembered for jeopardising that $2500 and trying to fuck it over for everyone by your innate stupidity.

this will be the first time I have used the ignore feature ever.

When is the next court date between IMPA (or one of its members) and Acacia?

...and *bump*

Paul Markham 10-10-2003 01:20 AM

I think I will also send out a Newletter teling people about this.

If everone with a webmasters email list was to send out a request for a donation it would work better than this.

And let's get this on a monthly basis, 1,000 of us signing up to pay $35 a month is $35,000 a month to fight this. Nothing for each of us to pay out but as a united force it's enough.

Plus do you want your names in the "Hall of Fame" after this is finished?

quiet 10-10-2003 01:42 AM

Are you sure about that? The FTPF site sais they will be donating 20% of their donations to IMPA and ASCAP (ACSAP? bah.)

Not to discount what Brandon is doing here... but right now the primary focus should be on the Acacia & the IMPA.

If that suit is lost (by the IMPA), then the rest doesn't really matter - because Acacia and the big players in this industry will consolidate this industry to under 50 companies. :2cents:

I understand there are other companies out there with potentially menacing patents... but THIS ONE has a publicly traded company with a decent warchest & a history of relentlessly enforcing their patents behind them... there others are like ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Paul Markham 10-10-2003 01:44 AM

I just ICQ this to everyone on my list.

How about a few of you doing the same.

It's a good cause and needs to be kept in people faces. Just emailed my private list and ICQ list and got a few replies who do not know what this is all about.

They do not know abaout Acacia or their patent.

any everyone who's pledged anything at all - this is what it's all about. thanks so much.

i tried to add everything up, but it's kind of a mess. titmowse, what might you have you given (unless you want it private - more than cool). just trying to get to a solid 2500+ figure...

(charly I edited the post I made to clarify ..re-read it)

I don't doubt for a second that you donated the money. I was questioning if 100% of what you donated to FightThisPatent would pass through to the IMPA.

And like I said, not to knock Brandon at all, I just think people might be thinking a little too far ahead. If this one is lost, it's all over.

People just don't realize it right now.. but trust that if you don't have big money, and Acacia wins it's all over.

It's far easier for Acacia to license work closely with fewer well established people in the industry then it is for them to deal with 5,000 webmasters, the bulk of them probably hating Acacia's guts & trying to get over on them wherever possible.

I mean the demand of the market (people buying porn) isn't going to get smaller with this decision whatever it is...

the people who are licensed will just make tons more money that's all. Which is undoubtedly one of the main reasons the people are signing -- if Acacia WINS, these guys are basically getting grandfathered in at ultra low rates... while anyone else who comes along will have to pay a much higher rate to be in this industry.

It would be far easier for Acacia to manage, monitor & audit 50-100 companies than it would be thousands.

quiet 10-10-2003 02:14 AM

so could someone add everything up for a guestimate of what the total is (maybe someone who wants to help, but can't donate any money)?

a clean list of all donaters in this thread would be sweet...

Why are you such an asshole? I see you get yourself mired in so much shit for no reason at all. Screaming like a child who dropped his ice cream isn't going to help the situation. If you care about the issue, bump the thread with encouragement for people who might be on the fence about donating. Stop being such a jackass and don't worry about what quiet is doing with his money. Even if quiet sends $0 to IMPA, this thread still generated donations for the cause. Grow up.

By the way, anyone who wants to purchase AVS Weasel, be sure to mention this thread and/or the IMPA. I'll give you $25 off the price and send another $25 to [email protected].

I'll keep this deal open for the next week, at least. Sometimes I sell 0 AVS Weasels in a week and sometimes I sell a lot so this could add up to a nice donation.

I shouldn't even waste time replying to you like this, but if you did a little research on Quiet, his site & his business model - not to mention his reputation, you would understand that if he sais he's donating $5000 to the IMPA - it's a done deal.
