Achieving property rights for domain holdings will be a fundamental step in the right direction. And if Verisign bears accountability for their actions it is positive as well in creating a partial precedent for suing scammers.

The $50k bounty is not enough to get anyone in the know to turn him in.

....Although I'd gladly hogtie and return the cheating bastard for free.

Amazing.....

"The Sex.com name is one of the most lucrative sites on the Web because it's become a natural destination for those looking for porn. Kremen originally registered the name in 1994. Soon afterward, Cohen sent Network Solutions (which is now owned by VeriSign) a fraudulent letter authorizing the transfer of the name to him.

Kremen sued, and last year he won the name back from Cohen, but he has yet to see the $65 million in damages a judge ordered Cohen to pay him. However, the court also ruled Kremen cannot sue VeriSign for the transfer because a domain name isn't tangible property. Now Kremen's hoping the appellate panel will overturn that ruling."

An old story for a while now though. I'd certainly drag the fucker in for $50k.

when the name was originally registered it was free, so that may or may not have great bearing on the case.

Don't believe what the news says is always what happened lol.
