To be fair, I think that the owners of those URLs are just sitting on them so that the really bad guys don't get a hold of them and really do some real damage.

Those domains are mostly garbage. I can't imagine a really bad guy would register those if they were trying to damage someone or something.

would the facetiousness of my statement have been funnier if I had said it in a keynote? A little 'whats good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander" But you are right.. I'm sure there are other domains that are closer to the mark than the ones listed in the article.

If they can sue people in the U.S. then U.S. people ought to be able to sue them too. How are Manwin's repeat infringer policies these days? Are content owners seeing their stuff getting taken down or are they up to the old funny business where a user who has 100 DMCA complaints is terminated but all 5,000 of their existing videos stay up?

The guy that owns youporn.co.uk allegedly has a few quid in the bank, drives a Lambo, (maybe a Bentley now not sure), has a nice big house in the UK, a villa in France, owns a lapdancing bar...

Maybe they could get a few quid out of him if they added him to the suit

Holy effing typos.

The complaint, waged by the adult entertainment conglomerate at U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, seeks $100,000 per domain property for violating the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, injunctions from operating the infringing sites, transfers of the sites to Manwin and attorneys fees.
This is disgusting and really cracks me up.

Manwin is lucky people in adult are beta as fuck.

They would never allow it to go that far.
