] Sex.com, widely believed to be the most valuable URL in
] the world, has been returned to its rightful owner after
] a six-year custody battle.
]
] The US Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of
] cyber-squatter Stephen Cohen who had been using the
] domain name as the flagship product in an online porn
] empire which made him his fortune.
]
] It is believed that the sex.com site brought in around
] $500,000 per month in advertising.
]
] However, Cohen acquired the domain through unfair means
] when he wrote a letter to registrar Verisign asking it be
] signed over to him, and transferred from its original
] owner Gary Kremen, who had the original foresight to
] register the name.
]
] Kremen, outraged at Verisign's compliance with this
] request, then embarked on a lengthy legal battle to
] regain control of the domain.
]
] However, Cohen's failure to overturn a $65m damages award
] is far from the end of the story. Cohen is holed up in
] Mexico and appears to be understandably loath to re-enter
] the US and honour the pay award to Kremen.

Proof that pr0n hawkers are scumbags.
