Is it still worth investing in domain names? Does anyone have clear knowledge of what the ultimate goal of the .xxx tld is as far as the government is concerned?

Seems to me it could go either way.

adult domains could be blacklisted that don't have the .xxx (on the grounds that .xxx are easily filtered to prevent children accessing them).

In which case adult.com's are going to be massively reduced in value.

Or else the .xxx could be blacklisted and filtered without any impact on other adult domains.

In which case adult.com won't be affected and might even increase in value.

Looking at recent domain sales, although prices have dropped, that can be put down to the recession and general reduction in profits. I mean, I presume whoever bought sex.com did their research, unless they are planning on bidding $33 million for sex.xxx ?
