Apple now the (un)proud owner of several iPorn domain names

Apple is now the (un)proud owner of several domain names that it really doesn't want. However, it would rather own them itself than let someone else have them.

The Cupertino, Calif.-based company had filed a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Forum against the original owner of the seven domain names in October.

Along with the never-to-be-forgotten iphoneporn4s.com, Apple now owns the following domain names:

iphonecamforce.com
iphonecam4s.com
iphonesex4s.com
iphonexxxforce.com
iphone4s.com
porn4iphones.com

All of the domain names in question forwarded to a mobile porn site when visited on a mobile device.

Yes, Steve Jobs, that includes iPhones. Jobs had earlier made the famous statement that those who want porn should use an Android device. While it was true that no porn apps would be allowed in the curated App Store, he totally dismissed (or ignored) the fact that porn sites could be readily viewed in mobile Safari.

I wonder if they had to buy it or was it given to them in a de facto ruling? Well this post certainly reminds me of the time when I worked as an iphone sales clerk. It was a great job but the pay was not enough for my mortgage.
Now I am working from home selling import export goods online, mostly digital items and gifts for this upcoming Christmas. My profits have been looking great and I was able to pay off my mortgage also. Everyone can do this, work from home and earn big profits online. The question is HOW and WHERE to find info.
