The case as it stands now hinges on whether NSI will be held accountable for unilaterally taking the Sex.com domain name from Kremen. In 1995, NSI handed over the domain to Stephen Cohen after he sent a forged letter to NSI headquarters. NSI failed to verify the authenticity of the letter and signed over the domain rights to Cohen, who proceeded to make the domain into a major pornographic business. After Kremen won a $65 million judgment against Cohen, Cohen fled the country and has remained a fugitive.
Kremen claimed NSI did not properly protect his property. NSI claims that domain names aren't property and they cannot be held responsible for giving its customers' registered names away.

Every time I read updates on this case I am amazed, truly.
All any of us domain owners want is the assurance that for the duration of the purchase/lease agreement we actually OWN the domain. If NSI can't guarantee that, then there must be other companies to buy/rent/lease domain names from, right?
Sex.com must win.
