Lots of *FORMERLY* big guys jumping on board. The reason is simple. They sat down and did the math. They may only be processing a few hundred grand a year now. Putting them at like 5-10k a year in royalties to Acacia... but in 2000, 99, 98.. they were doing many many millions.

iGallery and babenet are both a perfect example. They are virtually nonexistant now.

So 5 or 10k to ward off the potential litigation over a much larger sum is a cheap insurance policy imho. Specially given that next year thosee companies might make absolutely nothing and pay absolutely no royalties.
Hooper, I agree...
giving Cohen sexia.com was MUCH cheaper than litigate,
math has won over pride
