They're targetting adult right now because small time webmasters generally either can't afford to fight them, or simply aren't willing. They're building money right now by taking you guys out one webmaster at a time.

That won't last. There is no fucking way this shit will stand up against the mainstream heavy hitters. The whole thing is obviously fucking ridiculous, and all it takes is someone like the major news networks to make that clear in court.

Acacia's day will come.
Great theory and useless. Stick to designing.

You worked out that they will come unstuck up against all the big boys. So can you give me one good reason why they go after them? These guys are lawyers and been through patent litigation in court. And got beaten, so what makes you think they are going to take on the big boys again and get beaten again when all they have to do is bleed us dry?

This is the time for the big players in the porn to step up to the plate and fight this. Acacia's plan is simple. "We have a legal patent, which if you want over turned will cost you more in court than we will charge you for the license" Assuming they go after 1% at a time and a group like IMPA stays small.

They are truing to bring down IMPA in court by saying they are a conspiracy. Again another excuse to get us into court and get us to spend money.

Would they be attacking the porn industry if they knew they were up against a united front? Or are they thinking we will sit and wait for them to sue Microsoft?
