Try contacting the folks at lightspeed and telling them you're sending them traffic and making them money, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to let you keep the site up.

Bob hit it right on the nose. If we don't make efforts to protect our tradmark we run the risk of loosing it. Every day I get emails about people using Tawnee's pictures without our permission. Even Adultfriendfinder has someone using Tawnee's picture in their profile; A major newspaper in Seattle had a full page ad using Tawnee without out permission.
No one is going to loose their domain over this issue. All we are asking is for these domain names to be transferred over to us, and then it's business as usual.
