I think everyone who received a letter in the mail
need to go here and file a complaint

https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

"The compilation, repackaging, dissemination or other use of Whois information in its entirety, or a substantial portion thereof, is expressly prohibited without the prior written consent"

Has nothing to do with it.

I understand your intentions, but you are barking up the wrong tree with the FTC.... that's more about consumer protection.. and who says they are using WHOIS info? More likely the story of using sponsor database.. have had many webmasters contact me to really believe that is how they were found.

Acacia (stock ticker = ACTG) is a publicly traded company.. complaints of their actions in relating to securities issues (fraud, etc) should go to them.

Not due to patent infringment in this instance though, trust me, we have our case built ready if we ever receive a letter
