Sex.com book cover - what d’you think?
21 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 10 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Sex.comI have just been sent what will most likely be the book cover for my Sex.com book. And here it is. I like it. The previous one was entirely red with a pixelated woman behind the name. This one feels more right to me: interesting but not sleazy. I like the woman making out […]
Stephen Cohen rewrites Sex.com history
6 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Sex.com Stephen Michael Cohen, the man who stole the Sex.com domain and is currently out of jail, has embarked on a touch of history rewriting, starting with the various entries of Wikipedia that deal with the case.
The Stephen M Cohen entry has been redirected to “Stephen Cohen sex.com” by Cohen himself, and all the information […]
Wanna know the latest on the Sex.com case?
0 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Sex.com It looks as though the Sex.com case is going to run and run. In fact, I was asked last week when it would finally end and my answer was “I’m beginning to think only when Stephen Cohen is resting peacefully in his grave”.
Anyway, I finally got around to updating the Sexdotcom.info website that covers […]
Skweezer - when copy theft becomes a business model
4 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Technology, Sex.com I was surprised to find this morning when reviewing stats for my Sexdotcom.info site that a site called Skweezer.net has appeared.
I was even more surprised when I followed links through and found that this website has grabbed a large chunk of the content on my site and stored it on its own servers. […]
The lowdown on the Sex.com case
1 Comment Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Sex.com I have gathered a lot more information on what has happened with the Sex.com case, with Stephen Cohen released, and the attempted assassination attempt on his Mexican lawyer.
The big question is whether Cohen will turn up to court in February, as he has been ordered to. There is absolutely no way in hell he […]
Sex.com thief released; Mexican lawyer shot
1 Comment Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Sex.com Dammit, I’ve been so caught up with other work that I forgot about the December hearing of Sex.com thief Stephen Cohen - the first in six months after nearly two years in jail for Cohen.
It was always on the cards because of the strange formation of the law which meant that Judge Ware had […]
How to avoid learning perhaps a little too much about Kieren’s life
3 Comments Published by Kieren 2 years ago in Funny, Internet, Journalism, Photos, Technology, iPod, WSIS, Sex.com, Podcast, ICANN, IGF, Oxford, NominetI mentioned about a month ago how I was considering setting up a second blog so I could more easily separate my personal and professional life. And yesterday, twice, I was reminded that there is a bit of an unusual overlap when I spoke to two people: one, the spokesman for a company I […]
Sex.com book finished!
10 Comments Published by Kieren 2 years, 3 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Sex.com Incredibly, unbelievably, this morning at 5.30am I finished my Sex.com book after two years of research and work and a final last, exhausting push the past week.
As was now entirely predictable, I emailed it to my publishers a few hours past the absolute deadline of 14 August and passed out, having kept myself going […]
Sex.com article in The Guardian
0 Comments Published by Kieren 2 years, 3 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Sex.comI’ve an article about the whole Sex.com case in The Guardian today. Called “The age-old battle for power and sex.com“, it is a basic rundown of the case but updated to include Cohen’s stubborn behaviour in jail and tying in the latest twist in the tale - Kremen’s determination to make IP address property […]

4 Comments Published by Kieren 2 years, 3 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Sex.comIt was pointed out to me by a knowledgeable book seller at the weekend that you can pre-order my Sex.com book from Amazon. So what are you waiting for?!
Of course, the more pre-orders there are, the more seriously both Amazon and my publishers will take the book, particularly with regard to promotion. And promotion, […]
