What I personally feel about Acacia's MO
is that their current tactic is going to backfire on them big time. Spike and company have filed a suit agaist them as well charging that what they are doing as unfair business practice.
Acacia said
"The big bad webmasters are telling others to boycott businesses that sign licenses with us (untrue) or threatening them(also untrue) or giving legal advice on webmasters boards (untrue yet again)."
Yet their current tactic is exactly what they say the industry is doing...........threatening webmasters, but it is ok when they do it. The biggest pile of dogshit this company has done was to send out packets without investigating to whom they were sending them to. When a huge number of people, who have not one bit of streaming media on their site, nor link to any, get these notices. It reeks of extortion. And even though individually these webmasters probably do not have the means in which to go after Acacia, I would be willing to bet if any were within a hundred miles of a hearing they would jump at the chance to testify against them.
Someone tell me if I am wrong, is this Acacia 'patern'
Content provider creates a streaming sex show (Acacia threatens)
Webmaster Puchases streaming sex show (Acacia threatens)
Affiliate links to webmaster (Acacia threatens)
Some one else links to affiliate (Acacia threatens)
Whats next???
Surfer visits site that links to affiliate that links to webmaster that link to streaming sex show and Acacia subpeonas the server stats and threatens the surfer?
ya know, I once thought about visiting a site that links to the site that links to the affiliate (wooden ball rolls down a track like 'Minority Report' and Acacia sends me a packet.)
I am glad Acacia is so unfocused, shows they are weak. Triple dipping works directly against the average Americans sence of fairness, and we may be a lot of things in this country, but we do not like anything that is unfair, even when it happens to those we dont personally know.
To the Acacia lawyers
Business is business, but you are fucking up. & your far to ivy league to realize it.
as for the wannabe who says take me off your list BS, tell him to hit the books, he has to have a mid terms coming up soon.
