(AP) - SAN DIEGO-A man accused of stealing a pornographic Web site and making millions of dollars (euros) from it was arrested by Mexican authorities. Stephen Michael Cohen, 57, was taken into custody Thursday as he applied for a work permit in Mexico and was turned over to U.S. authorities, said a spokeswoman for the U.S. Marshals Service, which tracks down fugitives. He is due to appear in federal court in San Diego Friday.
"It's good that justice is served," said Gary Kremen, 41, who fought Cohen for years over the sex.com Web site. "It actually says something about border cooperation."
The Web site primarily hosts ads for other sex-related sites. Kremen said he spent $4.5 million in legal fees trying to regain control of it.
A federal judge in 2000 found that Cohen had hijacked the domain name by forging a letter from Kremen's company. The judge ordered Cohen to return the site and pay Kremen $65 million.
