I guess that answers the question as to whether or not ASACP was offered money in exchange for their support. It would be a shame if this .XXX thing ends up causing SERIOUS hardship on the industry and it was brought about so that someone could cash in on a percentage of each domain name sale. I'd like to know if the ASACP Advisory Counsel agreed to supporting this and if they did what their reasons were other than money, or if this was something that was mandated from above. Did Joan make this decision? Did Helmy? Seems that ASACP's mission is being used to justify this .XXX bullshit, and I find that VERY unfortunate. Has Helmy gone on record about this yet?

I don?t suppose any of this will really matter unless the use of these becomes mandatory. I would really like to see a list of who stands to gain from this. Without naming any names, it disgusts me to see people attempting to profit from the current unstable atmosphere that surrounds the industry in the name of ?child pornography?.
That is bullshit. Everybody knows that CP to the mainstream adult biz is a scourge. Honestly, I don?t even know how CP guys make money because nobody I know would even process a transaction for that shit.
CP just gives people convenient high moral ground to stand on and there have been a number of organizations (including the government) that are using it to fuck with a lot of people right now. It?s a bullshit tactic, its wrong, and it obscures the real problem.
It would be very easy to make a meta tag that would block adult content. That would be free and I?m sure everyone would do it, plus if you made it mandatory it would be easy to enforce.
Why hasn?t anyone suggested anything like this?
