Give me ideas on how to raise money for the defense fund.

As you all know, or should, I'm very anti Acacia even to the point of being boring. What I'm trying to do now is find a way to raise money for the defense fund other than just giving money ourselves, which we are doing.

So put on your thinking caps and come up with ideas. These can be applicable and used by anyone else, content providers, sponsors, hosts, 3rd party processors. We all need to fight this together.

Paul, what about a webmaster auction?
These have been very successful in the past.

In the two weeks of the Patent This Auction has been running, we have raised over $900.

We sent off a check this week for the first weeks auction of $616.00 (Still waiting on one guy to send his $130) And this week we raise over $880 which will go off as soon as we get the money in.

So not bad for a half arsed attempt to raise money. I promise it will get better and the raffle will also be running properly, have to work out who won that from the orders placed for the sets.
