It isn't about the price for me, $100 is fine, but it's about legitimacy, it's like I go to the bank with 3 ccbill cheques every week, plus any other affiliate cheques I get, they charge me £5.50 per cheque which equates to a minimum of £858 per year in charges, yet they want to charge me a further £15 a month to have a standard UK current account, it's all just a goddamn fcking scam, that if you let happen will.
It's about time somebody with respect and knowledge stood up and laid down the law, instead of another Mallick type scammer, raping the industry of the few opportunities that are left!
Is there actually anybody here who 1. knows what they are doing, 2. can make things better, 3. stand up and be counted!??

I'm not sure why it matters if ICM helped the industry or not. It's an extension that was marketed cleverly and made tons of money. Just as any other business who tries to market their product to make money, that is what ICM did, and very well.
However, there was a thread not so long ago that pointed out two .xxx sites with pirated content on them. In less than a week, one site was a parked page and the other had all of the pirated content removed. When has a .com ever done that without a DMCA, hell, even with a DMCA some don't remove anything.
If the industry needs or wants help, they would ban together and lobby for change, not rely on a new extension to be their savior. All this hate for ICM and .xxx is ridiculous in my opinion, and I'm glad that I realized how ridiculous it was and grabbed myself some domains before it was too late.
