A real shame I think, as the RIRs have to be modernised very soon and this case could have forced that change through. As it was the case was dismissed not on the merits of the arguments but on the long time delay between ARIN refusing to hand over the IP block and Kremen suing. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson from the Cohen case - where NSI and Cohen very nearly managed to get the whole case kicked out because of the statute of limitations. Kieren Yes.

You’d think he’d have learned his lesson from the Cohen case – where NSI and Cohen very nearly managed to get the whole case kicked out because of the statute of limitations.

Cohen met Milken back in the 1990s when he was in jail for bankruptcy fraud, false statements, obstruction of justice. He was in there from Jan 1992 to Feb 1995. I don't who he met in San Jose jail these past 12 months or so. Kieren It’s a good piece but she’s made a small mistake with the Milken connection.

In it she mentions that Cohen befriended Michael Milken while in federal prison in 2005...I'm wondering where that info came from? Milken hasn't been in prison in years...do you know where that citation is from? Hi there, I read about your ongoing work regarding the sex.com piece by Violet Blue in the San Francisco Chronicle.
