I got a letter from Acacia - Question

JenC · 2003-10-28, 01:20 PM

Today I got a letter from Acacia saying that my paysites are in patent infringement because I'm using digital audio & video.

However I thought Acacia only had a patent on STREAMING video. We don't use any streaming on our sites, we just have downloadable clips so I thought I was immune.

I'm ignorant to this. Can anyone explain?

DD is right. They claim ownership of the underlying compression technology.
