anyone know who owns it?
and where they are located?

I finally tracked down them as the source of a number of spam porn emails, most dealing with kiddie porn.

this is the only site that has the email address these are going to, I know that there is no relationship between cnet and tgk.

I really hate child pornographers and the scum that push it.

I did a quick search, as I'm sure you did, but found no related reference to a company by that name. I rather doubt it's a regestered and/or legitimate company, and you'll probably not have any luck tracking them down on your own.

However, you may be interested in this site that is designed to assist people like you who want to fight and stop that sort of thing.

There's a lot of good information, some good tips, and additional links.

Ok, so I might be totally wrong on this one (it would not be the first time, believe me!).
TGK.COM is registered to BULKREGISTER.COM, a company that helps small businesses get domain names and get on the web. It looks like TGK.COM is setup for inbound e-mail only.

Here is the WHOIS info on Bulkregister.com:
Domain Name: BULKREGISTER.COM
Registrar: BULKREGISTER.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.bulkregister.com
Referral URL: http://www.bulkregister.com
Name Server: NS.ALABANZA.COM
Name Server: NS2.ALABANZA.COM
Name Server: NS3.ALABANZA.COM
Updated Date: 01-feb-2002

As you can see, no contact info. www.bulkregister.com is a full web site, with contact links and such, so you could try something there, to see ifTGK.COM is owned by TGK Entertainment, and if so you could start complaining there.

BTW, here is the WHOIS info for TGK.COM:

Domain Name: TGK.COM
Registrar: BULKREGISTER.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.bulkregister.com
Referral URL: http://www.bulkregister.com
Name Server: WASSUP.QTK.COM
Name Server: TRUE.TRUE.QTK.COM
Updated Date: 30-apr-2002

So, the name servers TGK.COM points to are both part of QTC.COM. Here is the WHOIS info for that one:

Domain Name: QTK.COM
Registrar: BULKREGISTER.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.bulkregister.com Referral URL: http://www.bulkregister.com
Name Server: WASSUP.QTK.COM
Name Server: TRUE.TRUE.QTK.COM
Updated Date: 30-apr-2002
Pretty much the same thing.

I then tried looking up the 1st name server listed, and here is what I got:

Server Name: WASSUP.QTK.COM
IP Address: 208.40.148.150
Registrar: BULKREGISTER.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.bulkregister.com
Referral URL: http://www.bulkregister.com

by joseph moore

So, I got the IP address for the name server, and if you check out the IP block infor (who ownes that IP segment), you get this:

by joseph moore

So, the whole point of this is you could try contacting this company, Stargate Industries, to see if they can find out anything about TGK.COM, and if it is truly owned by this company you received the e-mails from. There is an e-mail address for theCoordinator you could use, as well as the postal mail address.
Now, I could be totally offbase here. TGK.COM could be owned by a real company doing real business and using it just for e-mail.
Or, it could be the company you are looking for.

I suggest you be careful in proceeding with this info, in either case. Good luck.

tgk entertainment isn't tgk.com, bulk register is more a regitration site to register domain names than the owner of them.
( i did check internic out before posting the question.
