They are simply trying to frighten as many people as possible in the hope of picking up some money. If the patent was worth a damn they would be pushing to get it into court.
They will extort as much non returnable license fees as they can, drag it out for as long as possible, then when the courts throw it out they will be $25,000,000 richer. Sound crazy? Wel that was what happened with V-Chip.
If more people asked Berman for Spike phone number he might get the message. YOU PICKED ON THE WRONG BUSINESS ARSEHOLE.

If their patent was rock solid they would not be going after a few stranglers in the porn industry! They would be going after major media operations and other companies. Time Warner, Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo.
What shows their hand to me is that in an eagerness to get good press ( to pump up stock??) they made deals with the top porn companies in the business ( not just only business).
By making aweetheart deals with companies like Hustler and Vivid they passed up millions of $$$s, and seek to make it up by going after individual webmasters.... many who don't have 2 nickles to run together.
The strategy makes NO sense, unless you are looking to raise money through stock valuation.....
OF course this is all my opinion..... I could be wrong!
