First of all the new adult industry "leaders" are companies like AFF who used spayware to fuck everyone, Mansef who advertises on the pirate bay to try to make a buck, and big tube sites who profit off of your stolen content. Do you think any of those types of people wouldn't hesitate to go buy 1000s of dot xxx domains if they thought they could flip them for profit?
BEYOND our industry, there is a whole another industry just for domain buyers/sellers. Those people, as I mentioned above, are going to jump all over this too. Hell, these people are already waiting in line. They going to buy the .xxx of your .com's then sell it back to most of you at a MUCH higher price.
Come on people, you think by now you would have learned the "nobody buy .xxx and lets show them!" idea has .000000000000001% chance of happening, why even waste your time posting about it.

The idea that this industry would stick together and work as one when faced with a threat was brilliantly displayed years ago on the Acacia patents fight. Some run to get the license in the hope it would stick and others would be out of the business. Few stood up to be counted. After Acacia were beaten by the few. Everyone went back to supporting those who tried to knife them in the back.
Today the biggest threat is Tubes, but people kiss Fabian's ass to get their long clips on his site. And how many people still send traffic to dating and cam sites who advertise on Tubes?
Some will rush to buy these .XXX domains in the hope they become compulsory and the cost is $1,000 or more per year. To get rid of all those who can't afford it. Remember in better days all the squealing over Visa's $750 charge? Some couldn't afford it and got out. Some could and had to cut back for a few months. This in good times.
Companies like AFF, Manwin and many other big ones will scream with glee if the .XXX becomes compulsory and the price is $5,000. Because it culls the opposition but leaves every single porn surfer still surfing for porn. The same income, just less to share it.
It's called
"Being in a real Business World."
