Fight The Patent . com

Greetings,

My name is Brandon Shalton, and I started http://www.FightThePatent.com on
August 12th to bring awareness to patent abuse cases like Acacia.  Being
involved with computing for over 16 years and the internet since 1989, gives
me a very broad perspective over technology issues.  I personally downloaded
digital audio/video files from BBS prior to 1990 and was using FTP at Texas
A&M to retrieve files from around the world in 1989.

Learn more about Acacia and other patent holders in the audio/video space at
http://www.FightThePatent.com

I am also on a personal quest to find prior art...and have posted some prior
art finds on the website (minus specific details ie. links, files, etc).  I
pass on my prior art finds to defense attorneys and interested individuals
(at no charge) that is a private web page that has the details.

Looking for these kinds of prior art evidence (date must be before May 1990
to
be valid to help invalidate patent claims):

C64 DIGI Files
Amiga audio/video files - Toaster!!!
Mac Hyperstack and similar
.GL files
PC DOS speaker files
GIF89a files that used digital images in a loop
Sparkle files
SYSOP's with CDROM archives
Weather (NASA/JPL) or Satellite movies
PDP11 use of digitized audio

Contact me below if you have some leads to some of these dusty files.

I look forward to participating in rec.video.desktop.toaster and help to
answer
questions or comments concerning these cases, as well as hopefully generate
awareness for others to get involved to get more people/media attention.

I am trying to find documentable evidence of Reel #1 and Reel #3 from Newtek
as
being downloaded from a BBS prior to May 1990...as well as Reel #1

Any assistance from the Amiga community would be greatly appreciated since
Amiga
was such a pioneer with digital audio/video on computers (I was a PC/XT
owner at the time
and was so jealous of my friends with Amigas).
