GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum - Acacia going after colleges now

I like this comment:

"Washington College in Chestertown, Md., was told that by Acacia that a minimum annual license fee of $5,000 was likely to cover the company claims it's owed. But Acacia said the deal is only on the table until Sept. 15. Afterward, the price might go up and Acacia might sue for past infringement.

The school calls it extortion.

"I think it's kind of like highway robbery or blackmail," said Billie Dodge, director of information technology at the college of 1,400 students. It uses streaming video for things like making lectures available online and showing alumni sports highlights."
