I think if ant of the time these domains were the face of the awesome things they done in the past then they won't.

If it were used to host some of their internal app then they might give you.

I suggest to find some personal contact (ofcourse from some middle man) with some Manager level in the IS department.

Thx for input.

It's mainly from past acquisitions. One is from a company acquired in 2004, the other a past unused name of an acquired company that was acquired in 2006.

Do you happen to know if there are legal reasons they might be scared of doing that?
