Are Hustler and Vivid giving a lot of money to the fight against the patent or not?
CE Cash signed, but I believe they also said they would help fund the fight against the patent.
Ken, please tell us that Hustler is doing the same.

Prior to settling, Hustler and Vivid had in depth discussions with the groups who are fighting. The issue really came down to many different companies with different agendas, different reasons to fight or settle, etc. So, no Hustler and Vivid did not financially support the groups fighting, nor are they permited to under the Acacia agreement. Trust me, they would if they could. No doubt about it.
However, they did spend a very large sum of their own money dealing with this issue and fighting for their affiliates to achieve the most positive outcome possible.
