FUCK XBIZ and ICM

Did anyone bother to READ that release?

Here it is

"HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — With the resurgence of the .XXX sTLD, the XBIZ Hollywood ’07 Conference has invited ICM President Stuart Lawley to be a seminar panelist for a discussion on how the adult entertainment industry and the domain registrar can work to develop a productive relationship if and when the adult-specific domain becomes a reality.

“This is an extraordinary opportunity to listen to and speak with ICM — a force that will likely shape the landscape of adult entertainment online in the years to come, if .XXX becomes a reality,” XBIZ Publisher Tom Hymes said. “I invite all adult entertainment industry professionals to attend the panel on the assumption that .XXX will pass. The question that the panel and the attendees must address is, ‘What happens now?’”

ICRA CEO Stephen Balkam and attorney Robert Corn-Revere of Washington-D.C.-based law firm Hogan & Hartson will join Lawley on the panel, which will be Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

The XBIZ Hollywood '07 Industry Conference is the adult entertainment industry's next-generation annual conference. Set against the Hollywood glamour of the Roosevelt Hotel, the event will unite the power centers of the industry for two days of intensive workshops, seminars and networking opportunities. The conference takes place Feb. 7-8, and culminates with the 5th Annual XBIZ Awards at the Highlands on Feb. 8.

“I invite all adult entertainment industry professionals to attend the panel on the assumption that .XXX will pass. The question that the panel and the attendees must address is, ‘What happens now?’”


Fuck assuming it will pass and fuck you Tom, for starting a panel on that premise!

The way I read it you aren't going to be debating whether or not its a good idea you are going to be talking about how you want it implemented....as if you have any say so.

You want to make a statement, dont let them ramrod the idea down your throat that its a done deal, if they wont let you speak out against .XXX tell themn to fuck off and walk out en masse.

Shame on XBiz for this cowardly act, put Lawley in front of us and make him argue that .xxx is a good idea instead of how he plans to line his pockets with out money.
