Monday November 27 8:35 PM ET U.S. Judge Orders sex.com Address Returned to Owner By Andrew Quinn SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A judge ordered a major sex change on the Internet on Monday, ending a hot-blooded struggle over arguably the most valuable piece of real estate in cyberspace -- the rights to the name sex.com. U.S. District Judge James Ware ordered Stephen Cohen, who has turned the sex.com Web site into a multimillion pornography business, to turn the address over to San Francisco entrepreneur Gary Kremen -- who had the foresight to register the address in 1994, at the dawn of the Internet age. Im just a small guy and this is a huge guy who has built an empire based on fraud and deceit, an overjoyed Kremen told reporters outside the San Jose, Calif., courthouse after Wares decision. Im like a little guy, so I feel pretty good about it. Cohen did not return calls seeking comment in the case, and his lawyers declined to speak to reporters at the courthouse. The judges order marked an important step in resolving the issues of Internet claim-jumping and the real value of cyber real estate. According to Kremens lawyers, Cohen took control of the sex.com address in 1995 by presenting forged transfer of ownership documentation to Network Solutions Inc., which oversees the allocation of Web site addresses. Using a company registered in the British Virgin Islands, Cohen proceeded to turn sex.com into what Kremens lawyers call a multimillion dollar sex empire -- a one-stop shop for the nastiest, raunchiest pornography the Internet has to offer. ..snip.. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001127/wr/tech_sex_dc_1.html
