Fight the Patent Foundation

[JR]

thanks for your answers.

Think about it this way, instead of getting a few million from M$, Real, or Apple, why not find 100,000 websites that have audio/video, get them to pay the minimum licensing fee of $1,500 (more if you make over $50L/year)...this gets them $150 million dollars per year... pretty nice for a publicly traded company huh?

this is something i have made a point of already. BRING OTHERS INTO THE FIGHT.

this fight is a little too quiet for my tastes. When i see "Acacia" - i see stories about how they are succeeding. Where are all the stories about how they are failing?

when are people going to make them sweat a little?

Acacia is a publically held company. that is their single greatest weakness. they are held captive by opinions and attitudes of shareholders.

what would the attitude of the shareholders be when Apple, Microsoft, REAL Networks and others are foced to both comment on this issue publically and take a stand?

some people are suing them... thats awesome. perfect. ... so instead of that small little mention in AVN Online which few people on the planet read... why not pay for a full page ad in USA Today, or the Wall Street Journal? "Acacia will have to target Microsoft, REAL, Apple" would make a nice headline. turn some heads. get some mainstream publicity. make thier attorneys answer in public for thier actions and for their pilfering of 10's of millions of dollars of shareholders money.
