Fuck Acacia..

I lost all my AVS video sites so atleast I <b>guess</b> I am off the hook with them. Unless linking to video sites is indeed a violation..

Time for another drink

OK you clever guys.

List all the organisations we should forward this email to please.

Just give us the URLs or email addresses and lets nail them.

They are desperate?

Have we finally found the way to bleed them from the other side.

When you guys wake up in the morning phone your lawyers and sort out how we hit back at them.

Everyone who gets one of these submit them to spamcop.net and any other spam service you use for spamming, we can all put a stop to the spam mails at least if they are blocked by all teh services out there, fuck acacia and their god damn extortion asses!!!

I'm pretty sure that the new California anti-spam law doesn't kick in till Jan 01, 2004.

I got this message today too. It's so weak when they don't even know your name. I mean even the bigger-cock spammers seem to on a first name basis with me, but Acacia opens with "Dear Webmaster".

I don't see it as desperate.. i see it as the next step in their licensing execution strategy:

Send out 'information packets' starting in october 2002.

They started the first big wave in October 2003 with the mailing of the 'Final Notice'.

In November, they are now spamming webmaster's email with the 'Final Notice'.

Nov. 30th is the "amnesty date" for their "introductory rates".

I believe in December is when they will file lawsuits.... Berman has fumed in articles before that since adult webmasters didn't respond to their 'information packets' earlier in the year, that they had no choice but to take them to court.

Anyone who settled with Acacia that is buddies with them, could have turned over a webmaster email list.... more than just the Matrix database could have been used.

gota love it - they start spamming trying to get revenue and now their stock goes in the toilet - just wait till they get the spamming fines.... so much for acacia's millions in reserves, the spam fines will eat that up pretty quick with a public company!

I dont think that law comes into effect until 24th Nov But it is up to 1 million $ fine so it will only take 40 people sueing them to close them down ?
