I really don't see how this is going to work. the people who are responsible for making the internet popular are the ones who are going to be punished are they not? I'm sure that there will be lots of people who go out and buy up all of the popular sites then like sex.xxx, danni.xxx, hustler.xxx, you get the point. who is going to govern that? also how is it that the US now governs the internet? i don't see how they can be the ones enacting laws that effect ppl all over the world. the US doesn't even represent 10% of the worlds population yet they can govern the internet? how does this work?

I fear the probability that some asshole AMERICAN legislators ( who are pandering to the radical right-wing religious hypocrites who pressure him/her/them into yet another mis-directed "to protect the children" bill or law, and/or those who contribute campaign donations to that/those legislators) will propose legislation to fence-out all AMERICAN dot com adult sites and force us into .xxx by going after ISP, or 3d-party billing, etc and imposing fines and/or jail time if we don't shut down our adult dot com sites. American law can't force foreign websites to go to .xxx, so they will flourish, hurt the income of American Adult dot com companies/sites, and fill the void and demand for our content by providing access to much harsher content from the former USSR and some Eastern-European and Asian that will make it a nightmare for everyone, including parents. Add to that the loss of sales, taxes and the increase in the balance of trade deficits, and AMERICA gets hosed:-(((.
This .xxx has got to be stopped; and, IMHO, any entity that previously supported .xxx needs to write ICANN and rescind their support NOW (and PUBLICLY?)!!!!!!!!!
Yes, this old fogey is upset by .xxx and the people behind it, those supporting it, and those not willing to now admit they made a mistake when they supported it in the past before all the real facts came out. I invite those of you who know the present supporters to "OUT" them, and I hope ALL of us will boycott any supporters of .xxx.
IMHO .xxx is suicide for American adult sites.
