Hello ABC, my name is *insert name here*.
I like Porn and it turns out that a publically traded company by the name of Acacia Research (ACTG) also likes porn.
I have an idea for a story for you that I think should be called 'Partners in Porn'.
It's a titilating story about sex, technology, and patents... where one of the most visible porn companies, Hustler, licensed their patent that has claims over the downloading of audio/video from the web.
There are 11 porn companies going to court to disprove the patent claims and are fighting to keep Acacia from being partners in porn.
Acacia's licensing is based on GROSS revenue.. so the better that a porn licensee does, the more money Acacia will make...that's how they have been come a minority partner in the porn biz.
If you want to learn more about this "dirty little secret", you can contact IMPAI.org or FightThePatent.com

I had a further thought about this...not that I'm into this, but it might be worth twisting to add emphasis to the argument.
They're also making money from kiddy porn - I'm sure there's sites of this genre that has streaming media. I'm sure Acacia wouldn't want their name associated with that.
