Pump this up.

:GFYBand :GFYBand :banana :banana


I have to say, though, that those who sold out, (I hope), thought they were making a wise business decision at the time. However....


It's good to see that Acacia got bitchslapped. It's about damn time. Thanks to all of those who are fighting this, (and I walked up to Brandon personally in San Diego and thanked him. I wasn't thanking him just for my benefit or for the company I happen to work with, because neither of us would be bothered by the ruling, but for EVERYONE. That's comething about us as a whole: we're a community, more or less, and what hurts one can sometimes hurt us all.)

FIGHT THE BULLSHIT! :thumbsup

Just wanted to say again, congrats to the Defense group, and all the people that have supported them. It's not over yet, but this is a very good sign.

I'd also like to say, I hope all those that settled ended up paying the fees for a few extra years and end up in court over it. Would be ironic to say the least.. :1orglaugh

For all you fuck tards that haven't donated a dime :321GFY

pimpdog go be a e-thug in another topic, this on is not for you. your e-thugged ass caved in and settled instead of fighting. So where your dogs at now?

You earned every cent of it. Steve stood up when puppies were rolling over licking lawyers balls.

Want any more just come knocking, if I could send you traffic I would.

See you in Miami?

Good post.

There is still a way to go yet and the bills still have to be paid.

Well if the judge only says the patent does not apply to those in the defense group that means those who are paying still have to ppay. Acacia might be meeting today to review the situation. Go back to courth and get a ruling that says the patent is not valid at all and lose everything.

Walk away from the fight and keep what they have.

There are many who talk and a few who put up.

Puppy has shown himself to be a fool on many occasions, now he's shown himself to be a liar as well. Not a good partner. I'm sure Acacia will not miss his money when they pull down the shutters.

Acacia's stock (actg) is taking a plunge today, down over 40% in the first hour of trading. Time to watch the snakes start to squirm.

I hope at the very least everyone switches their traffic/business from someone who caved in, to someone who is still fighting Acacia. This is one of the few times when it needn't cost a penny to support someone who isn't just thinking about their own short-term interests.

For $300 a month, your telling us that Acacia gave you an easy out on your contract? :ugone2far

All the contracts with them I saw were pretty explicit that the licensees were obligated to pay until a Court of final jurisdiction ruled the patents invalid with no further issues that could be appealed.

You might as well settle in for years of payments. The lawyers just spent months and months arguing over the meaning of the word "with" (among others), Acacia will appeal this forever, if only to keep the recurring income flowing from the signed licensees. Failure to pay by the licensees will be followed by a swift breach of contract suit by Acacia. Good luck winning that one.

Fight the fight!!!!

Well, for those of you who stood up and stood your ground, much respect.

If you'd like to hear the first interview Acacia did, you can listen to our archive when I had Robert on my show.

http://www.d-moneyshow.com/archives_...ly29_2003.html

I was sent papers from them and did the interview using the same streaming technology in question.

Chuuuch!

I personally like this line:

In this case, the Court cannot define the term "identification encoding means" because there is no corresponding structure in the specification that is linked to the functions recited in the claims. If the Court adopts this finding as its final conclusion on this matter, this would render claims 1, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 of the '992 patent indefinite.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh I would think so

dam sure in the top 5

F..U..C..K A..C..A..C..I..A..........:thumbsup

If every webmaster here on GFY donated $100, that would be enough to finally pound the Last nail in their coffin for good.

I saw the list Charly posted regarding the "Cave In's vs. "Our Defenders" ..... If you can't fine a few bucks to donate, AT LEAST SUPPORT and push traffic/sales to the Sponsors that went to bat for the Adult Industry. Every single sale you make help their bottom line which inturn will help the Good Fight! I just dropped one sponsor that was a "Cave In" and replaced it with a Supporter with the same type of site and niche. Here is the list posted by Charly

they got owned :glugglug

Makes my day so much better.

Except I spent a good hour reading the damn thing.

Here's hoping this is just the first of good news. Thanks everyone who's on the battlefront!

.. and fuck the companies that ran for cover.. for ever..

Admitting to abusing copyrights in a public forum?

Sleep on the settlement that you will be paying out when someone sues you.

You admit to lying and stealing in a public forum and you are calling other people dumbasses?

I short , I'm rich:)

Many dumb things came out of Berman's mouth from D$'s interview.. it's a classic...... u rock bro!


I'll have a summary of the Markman Order posted in a few hours.

Fight the Out of Town!

Thanks to all those who are supporting ARS and the other defendants in this case. We certainly appreciate it.

If you want to help in this fight, icq me - 85868511. I want to talk to you!!! You can earn a ton of cash and help us fight this lawsuit for all of the industry at the same time. That's a win win situation :)

Blacklisting and picketing companies that signed is not the way to go.. too negative..... show your support by joining the programs that are in the fight and do something positive.

A very strong precedent needs to be set to send a warning to any would-be patent holder looking to come trolling.

Money in the pockets of defense group members means more money to keep hammering... and hammers and nails do cost money.


Fight the Six Feet Under!

Real shame this is thread is being ruined by the Markham-Pimpdog fight.
Although I'm no pimpdog fan and I really love Paul I really don't see why there should be so much anger.

So he settled? His disission!
Did he ever told you how to run your biz?

We all know about it now and webmasters that are bothered by the fact that epiccash is a buyout would have pulled all traffic by now. Since epic still stands (although many people were saying for months that they will be gone within weeks), they must be doing something right.




on a sidenote: Hasn't topbucks settled also?

My Markman Order Summary is up.

Read there: http://www.fightthepatent.com/v2/Mar...erSummary.html


Post here:




Fight the Lateness!

why do they need more money exactly? these companies all make millions of dollars as it is?

How could they RUN out of money?

Why are you asking low end webmasters to chip in anything when these companies have MILLIONS to use to defend this?

I dont get it...

Unfortunately, I think you're wrong about being safe because you're located in Europe. The European Patent Office has granted Acacia's patent here as well. The number of the European patent is EP0566662. See http://www.ffii.se/acacia/index_eng.html for more details.

FFII, Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure, is the leading European organization fighting software patents. The issue of software patents is currently under intense discussion among legislators in Brussels. Right now the outcome pretty much hangs in the balance, so it's possible that we'll be successful in out fight to ban software patent altogether here in Europe. That would make Acacia's patent worthless here.

But it could go the other way as well, so any constructive help with the political lobbying would be much appreciated. The issue will (probably) be decided in the European Parliament this autumn, so it is right now that the window of opportunity is open.

Thank you to all the defense team and congrats! Also a thanks to folks like brandon and anyone I am forgetting! Much appreciation!

Some polititians have millions. Why do they need tax dollars to provide you services you expect?

Thanks for the summary Brandon!!

Fight The Legal Talk :helpme

Can you donate via paypal?

Whooaaa Brandon...

Got to catch up on this thread.

No doubt even before I read this thread ...
YOUR AND SPIKES VERY HARD WORK HAS PAID OFF ??? ...

now to read ...

Someone should fax Acacia that. :)

Or everyone should. :Graucho

Cheers,
Matt

For this first time ever ...
because of this thread ...
In over a decade of posting "controversial" posts ...

I've changed my mind - and for the first time ...EVER ...
on any of the MANY boards I've been banned but NEVER put anyone on ignore unless it's just "excessively large posts" or "excessively large graphics" ...

I've started reading this thread and its PIMPDOG PIMPDOG ...

I want the "coles notes" on the 40 page ruling and it's starts off with PIMPDOG drama ...wtf ...

will continue reading

Just clever / in-your-face controversial marketing.

Cheers,
Matt

I'ts really not that clever.

Clever is introducing a NEW ISSUE, or a new perspective.
So far I've read "insults" and "bad mouthing" in ONCE AGAIN a very important ADULT INDUSTRY thread.

Which one of you characters works for Acacia?

From my laymans point of view these companies have taken on the dragon that can plague this industry for centuries.

They have been using thier own money to this point with very few donations.

Since they are fighting for something we will all benifit from and they are gaining ground it's time we all pitched in to help them monetarily. I have not seen them ask for huge donations or even donations the smallest of webmasters cannot afford. Quite simply they have asked everybody to pitch in.

If your large enough you can kick them 10k or even 1k for the defense fund then so be it.

If your small and struggling I believe they have asked for support as low as 100 dollars or even promotoing thier sites.

I have had words with Charly in the past about his spamming techniques, however I will say this is a stand up thing he is doing to help the fighters with content and the offers he has made with his bargain basement stuff to donate 80% of the proceeds to this fight.

I am a small fish in this sea of webmasters and adult industry professionals but I have donated and will continue to donate wherever and whenever I can to help support this fight.

This is only a battle that has been won. This is not the end of the war and this battle will probably wage on for years.

Kudo's to the companies standing up to Acacia. :thumbsup

To the haters: Go somewhere else and earn a living there is no room for you here.:321GFY
