I don't know enough about the details here but I am sure the IMPA team will. Have thousands of irrelevant tiny companies cause them to answer legal letters each of which requires a lawyer to vet the reply. Get ordinary people worried and have them write to Acacia asking for clarification on xyz. Put word out that they will be targetting personal home sites with images on them next. Bombard Acacia with inquiries and counterproposals. Every person who has received a package, cross out a few lines, add a couple of lines, make sure there is something there that is entirely unacceptable to Acacia (don't be smart or rude, just make some counterproposal that is no less insane than their 2% gross requirement and all the intrusive disclosure stuff), and send it back. When they respond, do it again. Simulaneously get word out amongst the financial world that Acacia is burning at both ends, grasping at straws plus making itself vulnerable to countersuits. I think you could do a heap of damage to their share price and to their whole business survival quite easily. I've been in this kind of business, you need to play the same tactics they are using on you, as a listed public company they are extremely vulnerable to public and banker confidence.
