Poor Charly seems to have more problems than one person would like to handle... Last time I went there no Visa processor to handle my order, and now
I wanted to check out new content but all I get is an Apache webserver page!

BTW: Charly, I sent you an email about 4 weeks ago with details of somebody who stole your content from me. Never had any reply! Did you do something about it?

Just a shame that I'm so impatient... When I want content I want it -n-o-w-... hence I just completed an order with Adultczech...

Subject: Fight The Patent

Our industry is currently under attack from companies that hold legal Patents. These companies are forcing webmasters to pay them a license fee to stream video on their sites.

Acacia claim simply downloading a zip of audio or video ALSO infringed on the patents too, not just streaming. ANY transmission of compressed files in those two formats were under their umbrella

However some companies believe these patents are far too broad and will be invalidated in court. They are fighting this instead of just giving in. These companies are now faced with massive legal fees to invalidate these patents.

Should they lose this case, then you will have to apply to Acacia for the right to stream videos on your site. Should they grant you this right they will then fix the fees they think applicable. They can refuse you.

There are also two more companies with patents similar to the one Acacia holds waiting on the outcome of this action. Should this one be lost they can come and ask for you to apply and for pay a similar license.

The two organizations fighting this on behalf of the industry need you support , as little or as much as you can. If you are not aware of this issue can I suggest you look at these sites and learn about them, you may not do videos today but you may need to in the future, protect your future today.

Spoooooooky. Didn't the same kind of thing happen to David Lace after he announced that "Fuck Acacia" sell?

What if they're shutting us all down, one by one? *insert Twilight Zone music here*
