Here are the facts...
Acacia has...
demanded customer lists as part of its licensing package...
employed members of the adult internet industry as consultants...
made confidentiality promises that it has broken...
continued to characterize its V-chip patent as valid despite losing in a Summary Jugment...
been involved in an investigation for connections to securities improprieties...
Here are the theories...
Acacia is...
in league with some of the industry "players" to bring more patents down on the industry and create a monopoly that would shut out all the "Young Turks" that have hurt their existing market share so substantially...
the consultant(s) is/are being paid a percentage of licensing revenue...
will not keep future promises or create ambiguous settlements open to unfair interpretations...
going to lose the DMT patent faster than they lost the V-Chip...
manipulating stock success with support from some adult industry "players"...
I know in some ways the facts and the fictions of theories seem to blend together but it is important to keep them separate and distinct from one another and not allow one to influence the interpretation of the other. Nor is it recommended for facts to be considered in any other light than as simply a basis for developing new theories as a constructive manner of seeking and determining new facts. So, while the relationship between facts and theories may further confuse the distinction between the two, we urge the reader to look upon the facts exclusively and develop the theories further on thier own...
I think the riddle of the Sphinx posed to Oedipus must conclude this discourse on searching for truth in a world of presumptions and lies...
