What confuses me is I had a long ICQ conversation with Media who is with Epic, where he was asking me to go easy on them over Acacia.

Telling all sorts of things about why I should present them in a better light.

Then they have this idiot Trey doing damage to the company which he is supposed to own. I wish I had not agreed to not reveal what was said.

I wrote an article about the patent situation, as I see it, and it was on [URL=http://articles.ynotmasters.com/public/ViewArticle.cgi?ID=2926]YNOT here./URL] Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong.

But in my opinion Acacia are one of many people looking at this industry with the idea of extorting money from us. It's not about who wins or loses in court for Acacia, it's about how much money they make on the way.

The next firm of lawyers with a BS patent to come knocking on our door asking for 5% will know the what we have to resist them. And if you think Acacia are unique, then you really are stupid.

Trey what are you going to do when the next firm asks you for a percentage of your business? Shut up and stop trying to look stupid, your way to good at it.
