Sex.com Case Finally 'Over'

Posted by michael on from the coming-to-a-conclusion dept.

Spad writes "The Register is reporting that Stephen Michael Cohen has, unsurprisingly, lost his appeal against the $65m in costs awarded to Gary Kremen for defrauding him out of the sex.com domain name almost 6 years ago. However, Cohen is currently a fugitive from justice in Mexico, with his assets in various offshore accounts, making it very difficult for Mr Kremen to claim his money. Kremen is now pursuing a $100m suit against VeriSign for signing over the domain in the first place, which he is expected to win." See our previous story for more background.

    PKI is a scam anyways. All the better.

    I mean what does it mean that some faceless corporation from USCA signed a key for "poptoys.com" or something.

    Good riddance and I hope he wins his $100m!

      What was it for then? Weapons of Mass Destraction? Because Saddam is a naughty boy? Because Daddy is angry with Saddam? Which one is it? I'd ask the Whitehouse but it seems they can't remember either.

    WMD? He certainly had them shortly before the US retaliated by invading. He even announced his intentions to use them. Likely, they were quickly moved to Syria.

    Bad boy? Well, you could say that. He executed tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens each year, and his Hitler-like desire to exterminate the Jews was well known (and he funded armies to do just this with many millions of dollars)

    Daddy is angry with Saddam? Well, who wouldn't be.

    Just for its oil? If we wanted to take its oil we would have conquered it 12 years ago and called it a day. Personally I think we should have but then I'm an Evil Republican.

    The reasons we invaded Iraq are:

    1) To teach the ragheads in neighboring countries that fucking with us is not an option. That we can and will come and kick your ass if you piss us off and there isn't a damned thing the UN can do about it.

    2) To establish a permanent base of power within the middle east to keep an eye on countries like Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia and be able to whack them at a moments notice.

    3) So the Palestinians will have someplace they can go once Israel pulls its head out of its ass and deports them all.

    4) Yes, for oil, but not in the way you're saying. Why buy oil from the Saudi's who sponsor terrorists when we can buy it from the Iraqi's who are our allies? If we do end up TAKING the oil then I'm not going to be happy, nor will I be happy if we don't pay a fair price for it. After all, if we do that then what kind of a friend to the Iraqi's are we?

    While the current administration is not saintly (Ashcroft needs to be canned), if the best criticism that you can come up with is that we conquered another nation for its resources then maybe you don't have much to complain about.

    The funniest thing was having the BBC labelled as "Al Jazeera West" by right wing in the USA. These are the sort of people who take foxnews as gospel.
