Asia has been an animal advocate for years. She regularly donates to the SPCA near her home and even has a plaque there with her name on it. Let's not start comparing ourselves to people who've had decades of activism simply because we decided to do something for a week.

This DirecTV thing is JUST LIKE Acacia.
They have a list of people and they're mailing them all and accusing them of infringement and saying "pay up or be sued". It doesn't matter that many of them aren't infringing the patent, doesn't even matter that many of them don't even have video on their site or don't have sites at all.
They are putting the burden of proof on the person receiving the letter and threatening lawsuits if they don't fork over money.

It's extortion.

Edit: "confusing" them of infringement? Someone hook my fingers up to my brain, please...
