Sex.com Case Finally Over
from the years-and-years dept
The legal battles between Stephen Michael Cohen and Gary Kremen over who owns the sex.com domain have gone on way too long. The courts correctly determined that Cohen had stolen the domain from Kremen and ordered it back along with lots of money. Cohen hightailed it to Mexico where he began a series of increasingly bizarre appeals claiming (among other things) that the ruling to give up his earnings from sex.com was unconstitutional. All those appeals and odd legal arguments finally made their way to the Supreme Court where, today, the door slammed shut on Cohen saying they had no interest in hearing his case. Of course, Cohen will probably remain in hiding, and Kremen is unlikely to see any of the cash he is owed. In the meantime, though, we shouldn't worry about a lack of sex.com news, as Kremen is still suing Verisign for letting Cohen steal the domain in the first place.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
