Theres no shit coming down on me, I sold the domain last novemeber and have nothing to do with the site. I just had to sign a declaration stating that for her attorneys so they would leave me alone. But for a while, every fucking morning I'd wake up to a literal bombardment of emails and phonecalls from journalists wanting contact info and comments about who I sold the domain to. The fuckers were even tracking me down thru myspace.
As for those who say I should have sold the domain for more, I think you're not thinking. Last november, there was nothing hot about Paris Hilton. I was sitting on a domain that was given to me a few years ago, I wasnt using it for anything and had no plans to. It was just one of the few hundred domains sitting in my registrar account and a guy offered me a few hundred bucks for it, so why not let it go. If I had asked for more money (which I did at first) he would have just moved on to someone with another suitable domain and bought it instead. And the site still would have went up but been called something different.
The domain had PR0, no traffic, no backlinks, no SE listings, and just had some dating ads on it. If you had a domain like that and someone said hey I'll give you a few hundred bucks for it, you gonna tell them fuck that man this may be worth millions? Face it, parisexposed.com is not anything like sex.com or porn.com. The domain was simply not worth much.
