Then again, they weren't suing "Adult Entertainment" companies either (which Acacia specifically won the right to referr to these companies as during the suit). This lawsuit is going to be going in with a just a little negative publicity on the adult industries side.
All those millions of porn spams that get sent out to anyone and everyone every day, the bad operators that never cancel their members when they request.... could all catch up to the industry right here
I like the example of the guy mowing the other guys section of land in the other thread though... would be cool for the industry if it worked out something like that. ie.. Acacia and the previous patent owners made no claims, and no effort to let anyone know that they were infringing on their patents for ~13 years.. .even while this technology was HIGHLY PUBLICIZED as being in use.
Who knows how this shit will go.
