And, i'm not wrong about the supply and demand either. I guarantee you, even those who oppose this, when it is released, will be grabbing up the .XXX form of their domains. i.e.: I'm sure BrookeSkye.XXX will be owned by MayorsMoney, i'm sure Marc will fight for MILF.XXX, since he has MILF.com.

Yes, it is obviously a cash grab, pure and simple - and a cash grab which the big players in this market will be participating in, in terms of handing the cash over to those who are grabbing it.

My role in this industry? I'm a domain name investor with a decent adult portfolio, and I have done part-time promotion of sponsor's sites in the past.

I'm an entrepreneur who understands the domain name market - it's what I do fulltime. Do you understand how little it costs to setup a registry like .XXX, compared to how much it will return for those who are founding it?


Leave your sentimentality at the door, and realize you are in a business, and in this market, the lines are very gray - every business market changes, and if you don't adapt with the changes which occur, you will NOT survive.
