An interesting conflict develops around maxhardcore.com domain. It was registered in 1995 by an American porn actor and producer Paul F. Little, famous in the adult film industry under the name Max Hardcore. He himself admits that in his own films he extended the border limits in porn. And probably he crossed it eventually. In 2005 Little was arrested and in 2007 sentenced to 4 years in prison. Then the maxhardcore.com domain was confiscated and registered to the United States Department of Justice.
Several days ago the registration has expired and now the registrar Network Solutions webpage displays its status as «pending delete or renewal». Observers suppose that it is rational if the US Department of Justice renews the domain registration and then sells it in an auction. In this case law enforcement might significantly enlarge the budget: Max Hardcore name is iconic in the porn industry, so there will be a lot of contenders.
However, the domain will be sold off in an auction any way. But if the Department of Justice doesn’t take care of it, the registrar will put it uo for sale after the time for renewal expires. It should be noted that even now being offline for seven years, domain maxhardcore.com generates good traffic. alexa.com service, for example, reports a three months ranking of 5.5 million.
