first of all, I don't understand a lot of what's going on, so my apologies if I say some stupid things, but I'd like to know a couple of things

1- what does EXACTLY Acacia claims? How does it affects webmasters?
2- Does it affects only US and some European countries? what about the remaining european countries, Asia, South America or even Africa?
3- how can they be sueing the webmasters? as fas as I can see, they'd claim to hosting providers or ISP in the best of cases, not the final users, unless they're their own hosting providers. It's like if I buy a car, then 5 years later some freak comes claiming because my old Citroen uses some weird technology I don't even heard about. "I bought this crappy Citroen, moron, go sue a French!". Since I'm in adult biz I had to learn some stuff about legal procedures in US and I always get amazed, some laws are non-sense by definition
4- If they don't fuck around with the ISP and hosting providers, how the fuck can they know which technology is being used FOR SURE? Of course it's pretty obvious, but if I don't let them see my server, they cannot confirm it 100%. besides, are they claiming against (say) Microsoft, Netscape, AOL, etc.?

Well, if someone can clarify this to me, I'd appreciate it a lot
