the reference was to the 11 defendants, your peers, who are putting their own money in to defend their companies, as well as the rest of the webmasters. I am not involved in litigation.
I shutdown my (mainstream) website/service in order to become vocal. Was just about to be charging for the service (almost done with beta testing), when i read about Acacia.. and felt it was bogus since i personally downloaded audio/video fies from BBS prior to 1990.
The more research i did, the more solid i was convinced that this was a bogus patent claim.
Instead of sitting back and waiting to see if I would be targeted, i took up the activism and became vocal.
Got lots of bruises in the last 4 months from naysayers.. but I am driven by personal conviction about fighting against what is wrong. There are enough webmasters that support my efforts, that I know that I am not alone in my concerns..nor is my time wasted.
Fight the Waiting!
