Yeah I got one of those when I inspected the porn site front page.  Did you
read the NY Times article on this situation?  If Ernst & Young ever
establish who bought their formerly registered site, it should make an
interesting intellectual property suit.  The "word" Moneyopolis is under
trademark by E&Y.  Until this summer they owned the registration on the
.org site and a few other moneyopolis sites.  The registration renewal bill
was addressed to a former employee and wasn't forwarded the replacement.  I
will never complain about getting the last six librarians mail again.

Not surprising, the current "owners" of the .org site registered it with a
false address and telephone number.  Evidently, the buy this site just
wants you to give up a credit card number without being identified.
