All of this is exactly why Acacia went after the adult industry.
There's money here. But the industry is not organized and in fact the big players are so competitive and untrusting of one another that they are prone to stab each other in the back just to make a couple of extra points. Far-L, Spike and crew are fighting the good fight, but we're obviously seeing more and more big players cave and look out for self interests.
I do not fault them, just saying that this is exactly what Acacia is counting on.
Someone needs to put 'em on the stand in front of a judge and ask them why they haven't gone after such huge blatent offenders as Real, Microsoft, AOLTW, Disney, et al. It's obvious this is a shake down, but the system favors the patent holder if you do not fight them.
