The March 18th auction for the domain, sex.com was put on hold. Three creditors, including Washington Technology Associates, iEntertainment Inc. and AccountingMatters.com, filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition against Escom LLC, the current owner of the site.
The petitioners are claiming they are owed more than $10 million and that an auction sale “would have diminished the value of Escom’s assets” according to a statement from their attorney, Meister Seelig & Fein LLP.
In the meantime, The People Against the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has appealed to the owners of sex.com to donate the domain name to them in order to promote their “Vegetarians are Sexy” campaign. PETA said the owners would enjoy a big tax write-off.
PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman wrote: “PETA has never hesitated to use sex to make people aware that going vegan is the best thing that you can do for animals, your body, and your lover, so it makes sense for Sex.com and PETA to hook up.”
