According to xBiz.com Manwin was awarded $100,000 in statutory damages under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act by the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles
The defendant Georgia resident Nicholas Bulgin, was accused of cybersquatting and extorting the adult entertainment conglomerate.
The domains at issue were Manwin.net, Manwin.co, Manwin.us, ManwinSucks.com, and Brazzers.us
The federal court also granted Manwin’s motions to restrain Bulgin from creating domain names, Twitter accounts or Blogspot pages that use the company’s trademarks.
Manwin was also awarded $5,60 in attorney fees by the court.
Manwin owns and operates some of the most visited adult sites on the internet including YouPorn.com and Brazzers.com

$5,60 legal fees – how much should this be ?
Manwin was in the news a lot today. FOX News ran a story about Manwin all day today. It was about Fortress Investment Group, the Wall Street investment group that invested $167 million in Manwin and how heavily involved Wall Street is in the pirating of adult content.

That has been the speculation of some in the adult industry

Mawin was actually pushing for $400K in damages and higher fees
The judge approved this lower amount, actual fees were higher
@Michael
You really ought to expand your resources. The Industry has known this for two years. Gossip Bloggers and outsiders have speculated.
“”The Industry has known this for two years””
know about the court ruling yesterday?
Of course not. I was referring to the blogpost to which you linked. Obviously I was not claiming prophetic ability. You linked to an individual who, until very recently, claimed that Manwin was owned by the Russian Mafia. I was simply questioning the quality of your sources.
Well my post was not about Manwin financing it was about a court case, someone commented that they saw a story on fox news yesterday about manwin and Fortress Investment Group, i just said this has been speculated about before
