When you read the actual patents, they are vague and too generalized.

Acacia figures if they actually win a suit agaisnt the porn industry, which they believe they can win over juries because people have negative preconceived ideas about the porn industry, then they will then have the money to go after the big boys like AOL Time Warner, Disney, CNN...

What the common person fails to realize, if Acacia does succeed, this affects all forms of media transmission. Everyone from Disney, Apple, Microsoft, Motion Picture Association, Fox, CNN, Sony, Panasonic, AT&T, Bell Telephone... would be affected. Fees for services would rise to cover the cost of licensing fees. You would pay more for a movie ticket for the privaledge to watch in a theater. Your internet connection fees, cable tv, satellite fees would all rise, for starters.
