Porn.com Stolen? UDRP Filed By Company That Paid $9.5 Million For It
Quote:
A UDRP has been filed on the grandfather of adult generic domain names, Porn.com with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
The company filing the complaint, MXN Limited bought the domain name back in 2007 for more than $9.5 Million dollars.
The domain name Porn.com was registered at Moniker.com for a many years until just a week ago or so when it was transferred to the Regional Network Information Center, JSC dba RU-CENTER (.RU) under privacy.
We have not been able to confirm the nature of the UDRP and that its to recover a stolen domain but its the only thing that makes sense.
I know Moniker.com offers a Max Lock product on domain names, a second step authorization system meant to make it much harder to steal a domain but we have no idea of whether this domain was covered by the Max Lock or not but appears to be another huge black eye for Moniker.com a company that has seen more than its share of problems.
If this is a case of a stolen domain, its Certainly the most valuable domain since Sex.com to have be stolen, which led to years to lawsuits, but was taken under a completely different ?paper? transfer system which existed years ago.
According to Alexa.org, Porn.com is the 854th most visited site on the Internet......
