It's not true though... there will be a few thousand left probably. The acacia fees are absurd, but not high enough to drive most of us out of business. They'd weed out some of the competition, make the market more profitable for larger businesses, but would not essentially change the structure of adult internet... most things would stay the same, only the bottom half would be cut off.
You are assuming that if Acacia win everone can get the license. My thought is a "What"F" situation.

What if The big players decide to get Acacia to limit the number of people they license it to. Video usage is growing every day on the net, with 100 players selling videos what is the need for them to have affiliate programs? The search engines and a few links list will do it for them at a fraction of the costs.

I feel webmasters who think this will blow over and they do not need to help with any contributions, need to rethink the situation.
