	Gary Kremen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gary Alan Kremen (born 1963) is an entrepreneur who first registered the domain name sex.com in 1994.
		Kremen took the upper hand when two of Cohen's rivals in the pornographic industry, Seth Warshavsky and Ron Levi, helped fund Kremen's case.
		Kremen is also the primary inventor of a patent for creating dynamic web pages, patent #5706434 which he resold for over $1,250,000.

		Kremen was the guy who, in the middle of a San Francisco Giants baseball game, would wonder aloud whether a fly ball, falling into an outfield fissure created by a sudden earthquake, would be considered a ground rule double.
		Kremen was the guy who, when he owed you money would write something that you completely disagreed with on the back of the check, just above where you'd have to sign to endorse it.
		Kremen was the guy who would take to the desert on a whim, for a seven-day fast, and then send you a postcard describing how the experience affected his plumbing.

	Be Careful what You Wish For: The Continuing Saga of Gary Kremen and Sex.com
		Kremen didn’t have the good looks or athletic prowess that insures popularity in high school, so he looked to business as an arena where the playing field was level, where anyone could compete whether they were fat, thin, male, female, fl, white, or anything in between.
		Kremen invented a database to streamline the operation and pitched his vision for a national singles network to venture capitalists who quickly came on board.
		Kremen wanted to take the newspapers on and expand into other traditional classified ad areas, but his investors were satisified with the horse they were on and he wound up being outvoted.

		When Kremen was losing money on the NetAngels venture fund run by Ron Conway a couple of years ago, he broke a taboo among venture capitalists and their investors by publicly blasting Conway for his performance in a story in the Mercury News.
		Working with Kremen could be exhilarating and intense, Dubin recalls.
		Kremen got another boost in 2004 when he received a reported $15 million for settling a lawsuit against Network Solutions -- then owned by VeriSign -- claiming that the company which originally ran the domain name system had mistakenly handed Sex.com to Cohen.

	Sex.com Case Heralds End Of Internet
		Kremen also argues that answering the question would not end or even resolve the overall legal action against NSI, since he is also suing it for breach of contract, third party beneficiary and bailment.
		Mr Kremen has not been able to extract the $65 million compensation he was awarded from Mr Cohen, which he admits has put him in an unenviable financial position.
		Kremen argues that to dismiss Internet domains as intangible properties which cannot be treated with normal property laws would ignore the law regarding shares, bonds, recorded performances and e-tickets and also make their theft an unpunishable crime.

	Kremen v. Cohen
		Kremen had gotten it first, but that was only a minor impediment for a man of Cohen's boundless resource and bounded integrity.
		Kremen therefore had an intangible property right in his domain name, and a jury could find that Network Solutions "wrongfully disposed of" that right to his detriment by handing the domain name over to Cohen.
		Kremen's complaint finally alleges a separate claim for "conversion by bailee." The district court granted summary judgment, holding that Network Solutions was not a bailee of Kremen's property.

	Wired News: Sex.com Settles With VeriSign
		Gary Kremen, the owner of Sex.com, described the agreement as "fair." After spending close to $1 million pursuing the case, it seemed like a logical time to settle, he said.
		Afterward, Kremen filed suit against VeriSign, alleging that the company should be held liable for the actions it took that put the valuable domain in the hands of a con artist.
		Kremen's latest idea is to try to track down Cohen's assets by taking a trip to Jenin, the Palestinian territory where he believes Cohen has headquartered a file-trading network called Earthstation 5.

	ARE DOMAIN NAMES PROPERTY? THE SEX.COM CONTROVERSY
		Kremen sued under six different causes of action to reclaim the domain name sex.com in 1998, of which two were conversion claims.
		Kremen will challenge the district court's refusal to recognize a protected property interest in domain names by relying on the recent revival of trespass to chattels.
		Although the District Court ultimately decided to return registration of sex.com to Kremen, he is currently seeking monetary damages on appeal, arguing that domain names do not constitute tangible property.

		And last July, the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Gary Kremen had property rights to the stolen domain name sex.com and that Network Solutions (then owned by VeriSign) was liable and subject to the tort of conversion for transferring ownership without proper authorization.
		Kremen ultimately sued Cohen and Network Solutions, which was allegedly responsible for negligence since the registrar had not attempted to verify the forged letter that had served as the basis for the domain-name conversion.

		Dimmick was in fact Kremen's housemate and Cohen later claimed that she sold him the domain name of $1000.
		Some time later, Kremen did contact NSI but was advised that it was too late to undo the transfer.
		Kremen sued Cohen and several affiliated companies in federal court, seeking the return of the domain name and disgorgement of Cohen's profits.

		Carreon said his relationship with Kremen soured after the domain name was returned on summary judgment and Kremen took over operations of sex.com.

		The decision was entirely expected however, since Mr Cohen's appeal against $65m costs awarded to Mr Kremen had already been rejected by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit as an "egregious abuse of the litigation process".
		Cohen defrauded Kremen out of the domain sex.com - which is worth $500,000 a month just in advertising space - by sending a blatantly forged letter to VeriSign asking that it be handed over to him.
		It took Kremen nearly six years in the law courts to regain possession of the domain and the judge ordered Cohen - who has always admitted forging the letter - to repay $65m in costs and unwarranted earnings.

		Kremen has likened Cohen to a land baron who inveigled his way into prime real estate with a fake deed--such are the vagaries of cybersquatting in the information age.

	Whose Property Is It? -- July '00
		Kremen was shocked and irate when an ex-convict by the name of Stephen Cohen re-registered the site to himself.
		What was surprising, at least to Kremen, is that his case was dismissed by a U.S. District Court judge, who said that domain names are not property and therefore can't be stolen.
		Kremen is free to sue Cohen for fraud, but not for theft, because technically there was no property to steal.

		From his background it would have been hard to predict that Gary Kremen would have become an artist; breaking horses in Wyoming, practicing architecture and land planning in Colorado and spending time as a commercial fisherman in Chignik Lagoon, Alaska.
		When the great oil spill happened in Alaska in 1989, Kremen laid down his brushes and went on to design and build a unique oil containment boom for use in the oil spill cleanup.
		One of the accomplishments Gary is most proud of is his invention called the "Art Echo." It is a sounding device that, when installed in an art piece and a viewer passes by it, it will sound off.

	The sordid tale of sex.com - Mar. 6, 2001
		The story begins in 1994 when Gary Kremen registered the name Sex.com with domain name registrar Network Solutions (NSOL), for free and without any official contract -- the way things were often done in the early days of the Web.
		For Kremen, the only matter remaining now was the amount of money he should be rewarded from the Web site's earnings while under Cohen's leadership.
		Since Kremen has regained control of Sex.com, he says he has toned down the nature of the content and may eventually shift the Web site's focus away from pornography and make it an educational property.

	Gary Kremen, et al. v. Stephen Michael Cohen, et al. - Phillips Nizer LLP Internet Library of Law and Court Decisions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In 1994, plaintiff Gary Kremen ("Kremen") "became the proud owner of sex.com" by registering it with NSI in the name of his company Online Classifieds Inc. At the time of this registration, NSI neither charged registrants a fee, nor obligated them to enter into any agreement with NSI pertaining to its services.
		NSI subsequently refused to transfer the domain name back to Kremen, even after learning of Kremen's claim that the name had been improperly transferred.
		First, there must be an interest capable of precise definition; second, it must be capable of exclusive possession or control; and third, the putative owner must have established a legitimate claim to exclusivity.

	Go For Law - Legal Article: Domain Registration Liaibility
		In the wake of the $15 million settlement between Gary Kremen (owner of Sex.com) and VeriSign, I was forced to re-examine the much discussed opinion of the 9th Circuit in Kremen v.
		Since a $50,000 reward offered by Kremen failed to bring Cohen back to the U.S., the only viable defendant left was Network Solutions and it had filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing that it could not be held liable as a matter of law.
		Thus, Kremen was left with a huge injury (theft and exploitation of the domain he registered), but literally no remedy under the law.
