(AP) -- "A federal appellate court ruled against Web registry Network Solutions Inc., comparing Internet domain names to property such as homes and cars, and saying that the Web registry could be liable for damages after a convicted forger purloined ownership of www.sex.com from an e-commerce entrepreneur." [...] "But the judge and plaintiff questioned why NSI would switch the domain name registry without so much as a phone call to Kremen. They also questioned why NSI administrators weren't suspicious of Cohen's letter, which requested that NSI not send e-mail to anyone at Kremen's company because it didn't have Internet access -- despite being named Online Classifieds." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/07/26/fina... -- Andrea Abrahamsen Software Engineer, Intelligent Network Services Cisco Systems
