... and let me tell you, it was an EXHILARATING read.
There sadly aren't all that many books about domaining in general - let alone books for specific domains and the legal battles pertaining to them. This one outlined it all, right from when it was registered in 1994, to when it was settled in 2003.
To forewarn, it's densely packed with legal jargon, as well as technical jargon. But it was a great insight into what was a very clever domain name heist, with a very high-stakes aftermath, considering that the site was once earning up to $1,000,000 per month.
Great read. Anybody looking to view domaining and internet commerce at its grassroots, this book has my recommendation.

Yeah.... LMFAO... I'm sure Maxwell had a cigarette (that saga calls for a Cuban cigar actually) ....and also took a catnap after such exciting read ! I had actually read it (the main story) well before I became interested in domaining. And it would make a great movie, I wonder why no one's thought of that apparently....
