When is the next court date between IMPA (or one of its members) and Acacia?
...and *bump* |
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? |
hehe. looks like this thread took off - does anyone have a running total??
:glugglug |
You can count on me for $100,-

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. |
I just ICQ this to everyone on my list.
How about a few of you doing the same. |

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... :glugglug |

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. |
Ive got $20.00 on it :thumbsup

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. SpaceAce |
