The Neverending Sex.com Story

fwc writes "This has to be the story which will never end. Back in 1996, Steven Cohen "stole" sex.com from its original owner (Gary Kremen) by forging a letter to Network Solutions asking for the domain to be transferred to him. Subsequently Kremen sued to get the domain name returned. Through what seemed to be a neverending parade of lawsuits and judgements (Documented on slashdot here, here, here and here, and also in several other places), Kremen finally got his domain back and Cohen was ordered to pay $65 million in damages. In the latest twist, Cohen is asking the US Supreme Court to overturn the verdict of the lower courts by claiming that he owned the sex.com trademark prior to Kremen registering the domain. This should prove interesting since it looks like the filing at the USPTO occured two years after the domain was originally registered."

    it's a bad idea to start with.

    get yourself a good.site, and work to repel evile, whilst promoting open/honest communications/commerce.

    or, just keep watching the phonIE bullonly sideshow, until the Godless payper liesense hostage ransom stock markup FraUDs, are ready to fleece you again/sum more.

    at any rate, lookout bullow. don't forget to consult with yOUR creator early & often regarding matters of the heart/mind/wallet. that's the spirit.

    the site generates somewhere in the region of 500,000 dollars a month in advertising space alone.

    so in this case the generic name does equal lots of visitors, you dumb fucking nigger. instead of shitting out uninformed opinions, why don't you try to locate your dick you fucking douchebag? go ahead, i know it is small but it has got to be somewhere on your body - you faggot. ENJOY THE AIDS HOMO!!!
