I don’t know whether I’ve mentioned it but I’ve written this book about an extraordinary battle over the domain name Sex.com, and it was officially out on Monday.
I’ve been trying, naturally enough, to push this fact into the media, and I was delighted when my publisher’s publicity woman Lucy Ramsey told me that the […]

I’ve just seen that a review of my Sex.com book has popped up on the New Statesman.
It’s not very long and it’s taken a tack which I was surprised by, but I didn’t think the New Statesman would cover it as it tends to prefer more weighty and political books. Nonetheless, I think […]

I’ve just been sent this pic by my mate Ross who snapped it with his phone at WHSmith in Heathrow airport. It shows my book resting at number 12 in the Business and Management section. Obviously there’s been some terrible error and the staff has mistakenly put it as “12″ rather than both “1″ […]

I have consistently failed to actually post on *my own blog* that the book I’ve spent three years on is finally done, printed and actually available to buy from all good bookstores.
But it is.
And I’ve just seen the first review of it that hasn’t come from my biased family and friends, and that’s from […]

I’ve just stuck up a third poll in the space of a week, so I figured it was time to review the results of the previous two and outline the third. (As if anyone really cares, but it makes me feel better.)
The first was about ICANN and what I should do in my new […]

Okay, so here it is - the final Sex.com book cover. My publisher and I agreed a compromise on the tagline first thing this morning. It will be: “One Domain, Two Men, Twelve Years and the Brutal Battle for the Jewel in the Internet’s Crown.” At one point in the discussion, while discussing the […]

The tagline for my book on the Sex.com saga has to be with the publishers on Thursday i.e. in two days.
We - meaning me and the publisher - are still undecided so here is your chance to have some fun and help me out. There are a list below of the sort of […]

A story about the Sex.com case has appeared in the San Jose Metro which includes as many quotes from me as it does from Gary Kremen and from Cohen’s current lawyer. I was also heavily featured in a different article in the German FT on Sex.com last week. And on Monday I am going […]

There is an article about Sex.com in the German Financial Times this morning which rather nicely goes into detail about my book and includes several quotes from me.
The only thing is, I am pretty sure I didn’t say “rucksichtslose Schlaht” and I am certain the words “Seine Uberzeugungskraft ist aussergewohnlich” have never crossed my […]

Just a quick note: this morning I finished my Sex.com book and have sent it off to the publisher, who will then give it to an editor who no doubt will have some ideas about moving chapters about and tidying and all that, and it will be on the shelves on 3 May.
In case […]
