This seems to have been the strategy from the start. Try to get money from the little guys while giving it away to the big guys so they can keep the press releases coming and keep the stock price from tanking.

You can make a graph showing the Acacia stock price and the bullshit press releases. None of it has to do with income or the validity of the patent, it's all to do with how they manipulate gullible stock buyers.

I also would not be surprised to see Acacia send out another round of notices to small webmasters using the Playboy logo to try to convince people to settle, like they did with Hustler.

If it turns out that the Playboy deal really is as ridiculous as some have suggested it is, it proves that Acacia's plan is to fight the little guys, but settle with sweetheart deals for the big guys. What does that tell you about how strong Acacia really thinks their patent is if they aren't willing to fight big companies?
Time to change your nic to Mr Fact - My thoughts all along

this about it, if it was lens' final decision then adult.com would have settled too. they didn't.

in a way lens is an affiliate of playboy like most of us are affiliates of adult.com
You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm hoping adult.com doesn't go down without a fight. :thumbsup

Do webmasters get a written agreement from PlayBoy and Acaciaie that they will not get sued?

Without any legal letter sent to an affiliate webmaster about not being liable for broadcasting video or whatever the patent states...the webmaster is not legally covered.


If a webmaster promoting PlayBoy gets sued or any legal hassel from either party this thread can be submitted in court.


I would only trust something written on a piece a paper with a signature and a laywer scan. I personally feel that anybody promoting sponsors who agreed with Acraaciia should get a written agreement that they will not get sued or sold out.

Acacia could not come after an affiliate to license their patent based on revenue derived from Playboycash. This would a "double dipping" situation that they can't do.

But, since most affiliate webmasters use more than one program, they could target you for the revenue you gained by using unlicensed programs and you would have to be able to separate out the revenue streams.

I think that Acacia has seen how futile it is to target the affiliate webmaster, and instead, now focus on the sponsors (which should have been the target anyways).

I have chatted with several affiliate webmasters who paid the license.. unfortunate for them..but didn't the money to fight, so they had to just take it.



Fight the Targeting!

Should the sponosrs be the target or should the software producers such as Microsoft and RealPlayer shoulder the legal expense? When I buy a Ford Ranger, I don't expect the J. A. Pan Company to sue me over the breaking sytem I'm using.

Do they have access to affiliate lists?
