lots of "BIG" guys jumping on boar

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 think you are correct... also looking at the money Acacia repport they make from these deals, then it looks like many of companies who are settling pays almost nothing... well expect that their name will be used by Acacia whenever they need to show some "poster boys" to the rest of us.
