I got my letter on Sat the Oct 25

I ended up calling Acacia today, to get some info that I couldnt get from reading their site.


I will use LFP for the example. As we know LFP paid for the license. Even though LFP paid still means us an an affiliate to LFP still has to pay, even though we are not hosting this said video stream on our own domains.


This really sounds like a form of double taxation, or at least double charging. And if this is truely the case shouldn't the FCC and or the FTC be stepping in, to stop the "monopoly" that will be created by this.


There has to be at least a bilion adult web sites that are published on the internet. And if every webmaster was forced to pay or close down. This company would have generated over a Trillion dollar business, which makes them prob the wealthiest compnay in the world.


Also isn't it a breach of contract with our sponsors to give out our personal info. As far as I know that information can only be given out with a court summons. Unless the sponsor was pissing their pants in fear and just handed it over. As far as I know this hansn't gone to court with the sponsors, (Per my phone call to the company that has the industry in a panic) It has been in court to prove the patent rights....


The thing that gets me is when I called today they have a few of my domain on file, that are not even sites, the names are parked and have never been published.


This will effect the smallest of sites, and will force them to prob close up. I for one cant afford to pay this license fee, and if I could, I still wouldn't pay.


We more then ever need to stand up together as a whole in this industry and not let this happen to these money grubbing mongers...


I am done I added my 2 cents....
