I stand corrected, although the new registrant is not a thief, you must agree redirecting to a porn site is obviously an exploit. If you don't agree, try letting your domain expire and I'll be sure to redirect your traffic to us. If the person picking up the name put up an actual web site I would have a different viewpoint. Let me clarify, I was making two points:
One, that the person that registered his name is up to no good and if he wants to remedy the situation it would not be easy. Two, that thieves rush in where angels fear to tread. Really, Eric... The new registrant did nothing wrong? Do you think porn is really good thing on the Internet? I'm not knocking porn in the bedroom, or the money it makes, but it has really become the bane of the Internet. And although you corrected me on semantics, my moral is still valid. Have you ever been drug in to court and wasted time and money? I have, it sucks. Until you get some jerk pissing on your parade, it is easy to be smug. Personally, I empathize with Michael's hapless client. I do agree with your point that it appears the ISP has performed and actionable offense. Perhaps I fell for your ploy to respond. I won't get wound up over this, just thought you would want clarification.

What thief? The domain was expired. The new registrant of the domain didn't do anything wrong.If anyone is the bad guy in the described situation, it's the ISP that pulled the plug, since that apparently prevented transfer requests from getting approved. Moral of the story... don't wait until the last minute to renew your domain. Keep it paid up well in advance.
