I don't see anything inthere about the markmen ruleing. Looks more like Berman got ahold of a CNN reporter and had an article done for propaganda to try to of set the falling stock prices.

Acacia's digital media patents, granted to the founders of Greenwich Information Technologies in the 1990s, weren't enforced until Acacia bought them in 2001. Acacia has since secured dozens of licensing deals with companies ranging from adult entertainment sites to The Walt Disney Co. It sued the large cable and satellite providers for patent infringement last month.
that "news" article is nothing more that a PR report.. how much you wanna bet someone from CNN has a lot of stock in ACACIA?
That quote above was the only mention about the adult industry and there was nothing about the defense group and their recent victory..

everyone should send in a e-mail biching to them that they didn't report the true facts.

It basically focuses on how nearly impossible it is to defend against someone claiming patent infringement and puts the spotlight 100% on EFF instead of who has actually been standing up to Acacia (and making considerable progress -- if you value the correlation of recent news with recent stock price adjustments.)

i just did.

there is nothing worse then bullshit reporting for the sake of profit (whatever that profit may be). Woodward and Bernstein...that is all people have to remember when reporters and editors print bullshit stories.

Editorial complaint sent via their feedback page. Good grief. They may often have a biased view of events but you can take it too far.
