Bunny Ranch Beats Cybersquatters

According to AVN newswire, the famed Moonlight Bunny Ranch beat a cybersquatter who "held the bunnyranch.com name hostage." The bunnyranch.com domain had been lifted by Wayne Mellita, also known as Harry Ola, who is said also to run a Las Vegas escort service, Gentleman's Choice. "I was really nice to Wayne Mellita..." Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof said. "All he did was laugh in my face and commented how happy he was with the traffic that was sent to him because of the Cathouse special on HBO."
