Porno.in is now at Sedo auction currently at 410 EURO (about $600) with two bidders and six days to go:

It appears from earlier posts that porn is banned in India, so bidding on this one would be risky? Or is Indian society becoming more liberal?

By the way, do Indians use "porn" or "porno" or both?

Yes, I wonder why porn.in and porno.in aren't withheld by the registry in the same way as sex.in.

Well, will be interesting to see what it fetches.

Sex.co.in was another of those "allocated" by Directi post landrush, not held by the registry.

Well, 11 bids now, but still only at $720. But at least there is quite some interest in it.

I checked archive.org and whois. Boy, are there any of the top .in names that those two or three German guys did not grab back then :-)
