Sex.com CEO joins fight against Acacia

Adult Web sites involved in a patent dispute with Acacia Research have gotten a boost from the owner of Sex.com, an aficionado of long-shot court battles.

Sex.com CEO Gary Kremen, who spent much of the last decade winning back his domain name from cybersquatters and then seeking damages for his loss, said he had donated $10,000 to a defense fund set up to help adult-media companies fend off legal challenges from Acacia, which claims to own the patent rights to any process that streams on-demand video over the Internet, cable TV and even satellite networks.
