The insane spitfire video clip

lol...what kind of server are you on, unix or NT ?

No clue. Jav Henderson -- a regular here on both .owning and .piloting --
kindly provides our web server.

I just upload my site to his computer, and voila! (If I had to guess, I'd
say unix...)

Ask him to add the Mime types for media player into the server for ya.
He should know where they go, its pretty basic.

Yeah, after receiving my "notice", I've come across quite a bit of
more-than-interesting info about this whole ordeal.

One thing that really stood out was their Q3 conference call last
week.... one of the shareholder asked if there was any open
litigation. Acacia's response, "no"
Pretty bold to mislead shareholders... and while Im not securities
guru, is this not against the law?

Funny thing is, that neither my sites, nor the sites I link to violate
their patent.....

Well, I can verify remotely that your site is being hosted on a unix
box (running Apache 1.3.27). Unless it's choosing to lie to people,
but that's rare.

What's being suggested above is that maybe the server isn't configured
to send the right mime type for those files (the browser should use
the mime type to determine how to display it; some also use other
things, and will override an incorrect mime type). Apache by default
does that by mapping the file extension to an appropriate mime type.
The statements above, in srm.conf (or any apache config file), would
tell it what mime types to use for .asf, .asx, and .wmv files.

Your friend doing the hosting could easily check that, and easily fix
it if that's the problem.

Thanks, David.

I've forwarded this thread to Jav, and we'll see what he can do.

FreeBSD is what I am running also on one of my servers.
I am pretty sure he can fix his problem by just editing his .htaccess and adding
the lines in there instead of having server admin do it.

They have been sending this letter to sites that have shut down, sites that dont have
video and so on.
I may be able to direct you to alot of other information on acacia and the people who are
fighting it, but you seen to want to be anonymous on here for some reason and most of the
stuff on this I wont post to a newsgroup or on a msg board because believe it or not,
acacia reads some of it and some of it just dont need posted here.
shoot me an E-mail if you want

I just pulled this from a msg board of a guy who called them today:
-------------------------
After a 2nd phone conversation with those people, I was told the following:

Me:
Ok, now I have taken out the 23 links from my sites which led to videos. Can you send me
a letter stating that I am not infringing your so called patent?

Acacia:
No, that is not possible, you are linking to galleries which contain pictures and
banners, when those banners are clicked, they take you to sites which offer membership
for picture and video content.

Me:
You must be kidding me!!! I can't link to site or galleries with movies on it, and now
you claim I can't link to picture galleries which promote a sponsor which offers videos
and pics?????

Acacia:
That is correct.

Me:
Well, then I will put the movies links on my site and you'll see me in court.

END

Those Acacia people are incredible!!!!!

I believe that's true -- but Jay said he "just uploads his files" to the
server, indicating a *really* minimal knowledge of config details I
suspect.

Man, you got THAT right. All I care is that it works -- I'll leave it up to
guys like you to *make* it work. ;-)

I emailed Jav with your posts, and he has agreed to make the recommended
changes. The site is "down" as I'm writing this, so I presume he's working
on it right now.

Thanks, guys!

Probably not your problem. Ask Corky Scott if he can run it with *his* version
of Netscape. If so, forget about it.

You can dress a hog in a tuxedo, but he still wants to roll in the mud.

I don't run it in Netscape, my default browser is Internet Explorer.
I finally managed to download the thing to my computer so I don't have
to worry about the website cutting visitors off because the monthly
quota of visitors was exceeded.

I usually run the clip several times a day. I think it's hilarious.

Don't ask me questions about computers or computer programs, I'm a
user, not a software designer. I usually learn just enough to do what
I need to do and halt the learning process there.
