I saw this mentioned elsewhere a few months back (the whois shows this happened in June this year).

I'll see if I can dig up the reference.

Looks like one guy, Stephen Koeing, has lost:
business.in
internet.in
computer.in

Daniel Fuehrer has lost:
hotels.in
jobs.in

I wonder who had sex.in?

 

[sker]

Why ?

are they lost trust on .in ??

Looking forward to hear from large portfolio holders of .in

since .in not been reported on dnjournal for a while now, i can't gauge the market appeal, and i assume so do others...

Feedbacks are highly appreciated

I'm not fully understanding why they are losing
their domains. Can anyone sum it up in simple terms,
and who all is at risk? thanks

 

[ekal]

Different reasons in different cases. Can't be summed up easily.

Ignore the obvious infringements and have a look at the generics;

[mis_chiff]

well I only have 2 and they are both developed,
Tnn and Tst so hopefully I'm safe.

I thought generics were the safest domains?

The generics seem to go for the highest prices. So aparently not.

 

[ekal]

Also the most valuable - hence the reason they're getting hijacked.

Does sex.in come under the infringement dispute?

I'll see if I can dig up the reference.

 

[ekal]

Nope - this is the list of cases:

Ekal, why is this shown in the whois. I reckon if this doesnt fall under the generic disputes, then there shouldn't be any sort of problem.

Status:HOLD

Yes! Would love to see some reference for it.

I'll see if I can dig up the reference.

Found the reference in a post by a2zofb2b. He knew about this at least a couple of months ago:
