and if you take legal action you are talking money...Allison stated that they would not be buying .xxx and if they need to they will take action to protect their trademarks. That works for them as they have the money to defend themselfs ... not everyone has that tho

example: Earl miller was in the FRONT row. I was lucky enough to speak with them later that evening over dinner and he has 200+ domains he wants to protect. He is now faced with buying them or letting some one else run over his name and he does not want to spend the money to take legal action .. when .xxx was not needed or requested by this industry... sad a legend such as him has to worry about this
its legal blackmail. buy the domains or suffer the consequences.
