From what I recall, Mindspring mapped 3rd level domains to user's homepages long before 1999 - so did some other ISPs.

In regards to 3rd level domains, categories, and user assigned 4th level domains...that was being done way before 1999 too. Ie. the "original" .US TLD - which comprises categories, geography, and personal identifiers - including user named sub-domains.

That's what people have been saying all along about the acacia patent, yet so far it has not been invalidated. If anything this is another case that will be drawn out for years while people either fight it or fold and settle, with a gaggle of other opportunistic patent-holders waiting in the wings to take their chomp at us.

Settle with everyone, and watch your profit go down the crapper! Weee!

The patent isn't on subdomains specifically, but on offering hosting where the username matches the subdomain. As in username.hostcompany.com

New article on SlashDot about the subject:

From what I recall, Mindspring and others were offering that long before 1999.

Bunch of others. Easy to tell this guy just hopes some people just pay and not fight. But also looks like he will say he didn't patent subdomains, just a way to create subdomains for hosting providers.
