If I understand correctly: If I had been fast enough to buy this domain, I would be able to break Denuvo for a long time?
No, it never fully dropped.
At least until the registrar intervened per their abuse policy
Most registrars have a grace period of 30-40 days, where the original owner can still reclaim it IIRC.
Oh wow, didn't see that. How did nobody notice...
Well there should still be a redemption and "pending delete" period [0]. I believe the original owner can still reclaim during those.
