Wow, what recourse is available in this situation? None? Does this mean that 100% they are going to now be blackmailed to get their domain back?

Usually there's a grace period where the owner can still renew it, and before anyone else can. If the domain actually expired 60 or 90 days ago then they're probably hosed.

I don't understand. It looks normal and works for me?

Wait half an hour or so, and flush your computer's DNS cache. Your ISP is probably caching the DNS entry.
