I don't know about "hammers," but I did notice in Fred Limp's recent review of ArcView 8.1 in GEO World, he specifically refers people to ESRI for price. That's unusual for a review: you usually list the suggested retail price and everyone tries to negotiate deals with the sales reps from there.
Are you hinting that this "big hammer" is something that prevents people from discussing what they paid for ArcView, or that reviewers have to sign license agreements before they can review this software?
