Acacia question

Launching a new site soon where I plan to serve both videos for download and for stream and so here comes a (probably frequently asked and newbie) question: Is the Acacia patent international or just US?...

It's valid in around 13 countries I think, check on their site.

However they could of started to chase overseas porn people with their license sales drive. But what they did do was start on another US based industry.

If I had to pick either way I would say non US companies are safer. They will not relish the idea of going overseas to enforce this license, it makes more sense to go after more companies in the US.

Email brandon at fightthepatent dot com . He can point you to the page/s that state which countrues they hold patents in. I'll not post them here so as to not increase those clowns SE ratings etc. ;-)

Thanks for the feedback, just the excuse I needed to just lay low for starters
If it ever comes down to paying Acacia or cut out my streams I know what I'll do as well.
