I think Microsoft is a *bit* more prepared to buy someone out at any cost than PayPal, but I get your point. 
I'd like to see a little guy fight Acacia and win, too. It just might happen; this latest mailing they've done was massive and they ended up threatening a lot of small people who don't even *have* video on their sites. Some who don't have sites at all.
They're doing a desperate blanket mailing hoping to snag something in their net. They haven't done their research at all on the list they acquired (however they acquired it). It just might come back to bite them on the ass.

Carrie I like your thinking.

Don't you think it would be easier for Microsoft to through a bit of support to the current case at hand instead of buying a company that is going down the tubes? I would think that Microsoft has the prior art (well documented I'm sure) and quite a large staff that could be of help to anyone with a pending case with Acacia. Microsoft sees Acacia coming and they are being proactive?
Not just Microsoft by the way. Other big corporations are being proactive here, you can bet on it!
