Imagine if someone grabbed sex.xxx

You think gary at sex.com is going to just sit there and allow it? He'd probably end up suing the registrar, etc...

It's a nice "marketing" tactic, to allow the .com owner to get their .xxx equivalent.


Fight the Hair Extensions!

That is interesting to hear, yet does it mean that assuming I own just a small linklist let's say nakedpussy.com, will i be automatically offered the .xxx equivalent?

And I also wonder why the unfair advantage to .com owners.
Gary Kremen owns both sex.com and sex.net, but i can imagine them being in different hands...and both owners would certainly like to get sex.xxx ( who wouldn't )...

If sex.com owners gets sex.xxx by default, then simply sex.net owner could sue the registry etc...

BTW, I also fail to see the reasons behind .post, .mail, .asia, .mobi, .jobs etc
Who needs such extensions? Who needs new extensions at all
