I still read these threads shaking my head ...
the whole concept of patenting something and not making any claims until the industry is too poor & disconnected to fight it - and the companies that are supporting this, what are you thinking?!!? Your own pockets might be protected for a few minutes but ... surely that's not the end of it?!?
Ken, did you REALLY just say that being an affiliate of hustler or vivid will protect webmasters from legal action?!?! All of my paysite exits will immediately be sent to hustler & vivid programs & I expect full protection!!! :P

CJ,
Just be sure to remember that you will be protected for only the biz you do with Hustler/Vivid.
The video content in your actual paysites would be subject to Acacia's license demands.
Also, good point re: the next wave of patent claims- rumors of Wlaters, Piccionelli, FM, Shuster, Gary Kremen all possibly doing similar things
