 It gave me the opportunity fire away with comments on my website and the yahoo board. I guess I must be agitating them with the truth. Fight the Spin!

				 | They still haven't learned their lesson though. They just acquired yet ANOTHER patent to try and license. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/040721/215181_1.html |

 Patent's IMO should only be given to something that is useable, or if it's for an Idea then it should have a very limited life. If the idea is not used then the patent should be killed within a certian amount of time like say 5 years.

				 | Oh those mother fuckers!  Acacia and Lodgenet conspiring... As I recall Lodgenet was one of the first to settle the other patent in question. |

				 | Acacia seems to think they now hold the patent to charge you for logging onto the internet.

 That is so true, it is obscene It's not like before there were software patents you could go copy Excel and claim it is yours. There was the copyright law, and still is. If there had been patents on software and concepts 15 years ago, we would be all writing on "Word" today and nothing else. (O.k. we actually do tehe) You bet the concept of "moving words around and re-organizing them in a way that..." would be granted a healthy 20 patents & the nobel prize today. Europe is doing the exact same thing. European parliament is strictly against patenting software, models and concepts, but the European Comissions who has the final say wants to push it through nonetheless (Not) suprisingly, most politicans over here, especially the leftist ones, think that patents actually HELP the smaller companies and individual developers. At least they say so. But I fear they really believe it this time. I shit you not. They act like they're doing a good thing to help out the poor. Because, you can protect your work then, and the big evil companies cannot take it away from you anymore. The fact that more rules ALWAYS help the rich is something they do not (want to) understand. The more rules, the more lawyers/money needed to enforce/defend them. Rules = ALWAYS good for the big guys. But when reading interviews with the politicans pushing software patents (including Germany's chancellors Schroeder, who is all for it) they are always like: "uh, but if something wents wrong, you can always challenge the patent." The main point here is most politican's interesting ignorance regarding the ASTRONOMICAL COSTS of patent law issues. Even a little trademark issue costs me $10,000 easily. Patent trouble is 2 leagues upstairs. Instead of just ONE single term, you need your lawyer to turn upside down 10,000's of words. GO LENSMAN GO  | |

 But you only win if the patent is made invalid in court, if Acaia pull out you continue to pay and showing your true colours has also hurt you in looking for affiliates. Let's face it who wants to sign up to someone who might give their information to Acacia? | |
