the idea that many will feel forced to purchase these domains to protect their existing sites at a rip off rate of 10 times that of a regular domain..if you're lucky enough to get it for reg fee because if you have a well established site, there will people going after the .xxx version. even if you have the .com it looks like you will have to fight for it among people who own other tld's.
the possiblity that xxx will be used to put adult in an 'red light ghetto' that will effectively put many people out of business.

That's all true... but doesn't change the fact that what he did was 100% legal and anyone here could have done the same... while everyone was building some bullshit blogs, tube sites, etc, bitching that adult industry is hopeless, he was pushing this thing through... bringing first "innovation" to the adult industry in probably a decade... he put up a more or less a fair fight and outplayed us all...
I know it sucks, and down the road many of us will get screwed, but gotta give some credit to the guy for coming up with this brilliant plan....
