I am looking for insider information on this one, or at least someone who has studied these things closely.
I might have a domain that was stolen before I picked it up. It's fairly high profile, and most certainly involves hundreds of thousands in revenue.
It was a Versign domain (naturally) and was set to email authentication.
We all know the rest of the story.
The original owner is now suing NSI/Verisign. The other day, the Sex.com case took a promising turn when the judge in the case chided NSI/Verisign for not taking any responsibility, and Verisign's very own lawyer noted that any libaility on Verisign's part would most certainly open the door to tons of lawsuits.
What I want to know is: Once a domain has left Verisign as "stolen", how successful is Verisign in restoring a stolen domain, and what process do they have to go through to get it. Is it just an explosion of civil lawsuits that settles this thing, or does Verisign set the tone for, ah, atonement.
Please note that I know a fair bit about this subject, but want someone to post who has actually been through the process or knows about a particular case.
Thanks for any info.
