They are primarily concerned with influencing the law, or obtaining judgements which set precedent to effecively influence the law. I was once threated with a lawsuit by a similar predator (who claimed that "USENET" and "CAMPING" were some of his trademarks and also had thousands of registered domains) for trademark infringement by my open source package. The EFF did not help. I finally did prevail due to the kindness of strangers.
