Robbie,
I ususally agree with 99.9 percent of your views and comments but I find it hard to in this instance.
Your comment "I would think that they either didn't have their stuff trademarked at the time and/or didn't fully understand the laws."
"If you have trademarked your site you MUST protect your trademark"
Most of these corps have had registered trademarks for years and good lawyers so they fully understand the value and importance of such ..they are not just now waking up to the facts.
It looks like many trademark holders (both mainstream and adult) simply ignored people registering them and sat back and watched webmasters build those domains into something of value ..( they can of course see how much value from the webmaster stats ) ...now they are mature $$$ earning domains its time for them to say " Hey those contain our trademark we want them for free...hand them over".
Yes its business and tough times ....so I agree they can now call in what may have been a master plan over many years of sitting and waiting .....and yes they have every right ......just sucks for those affiliates involved even if it is actually you could say thier own fault...
Bottom line is due to piracy and theft the adult industry has reached the "every man for himself " stage I think.
