OK. here's a thought. We have IMPA organized to protect media rights on the internet in general (they could'nt legally band together just to fight Acacia, btw, so that is what they are all about) and they seem to be preparing for a major battle royal.
Should we support them? Hell yeah! They're fighting the good fight.
Should we donate to their fight? Yes, indeed! The way they have chosen is going to be expensive and the outcome may affect us all.
Should we depend on them? Well... why should we? Have we gone fuedal on the net, where we need castlekeepers (read: "kings") to protect us? I think not.
Let IMPA do what IMPA will. Support them in any way you can, they'll need every bit of help through this coming battle and more power to them.
But, in the meantime, can you see how a dozen or so independent webmasters could file Reexamination Applications could turn the tide of battle? Some may draw just a little blood, some more. But the overall effect would be a drain of their resources, weakening them, distracting them...
