My site (http://www.girlsdotcom.com) is a photography site. I doubt if anyone keeps their membership for the video.
This will NOT work. Under the terms of Acacia's license (if you choose to sign it), they get a percentage of your TOTAL gross, from all activity, not just activity related to streaming. In addition, Acacia makes claims regarding their patents that go beyond streaming video.

For those of you that have not read any of my other posts on this topic I will say it again:

The defense group, and the IMPA, believe that the Acacia patents are NOT VALID. We remain committed, and will continue to remain committed, to VIGOROUSLY defending our position in a court of law to have the Acacia patents invalidated.

The defense group, and the IMPA, cannot, and should not have to, carry this burden by themselves. We need your help. Please visit www.impai.org for more information or contact me, [email protected] , or [email protected] if you have any questions or want any additional information.
