This is a revere class action, and I do not see how any judge would allow it to be filed. There are too many different interests to protect.

The way Acacia is trying to define the class, is all those sites that carry a 2257 page for their video content.
The problem, as Spike pointed out, is that there are many ways to do your video (encoding, transmission, etc), that it's hard to just lump a bunch of websites together.
This is clearly their move to put the patent on porn.
If the judge approves the class action, then it will be interesting to see how each affected webste will react to it.... continuing to ignore everything, or join the defense group (ie. putting in $$$).
I agree with you Mike, a class action like this should be very hard to get approved because of the diversity.
