I'd rather have that than have the US gov't try to prosecute people.

And if ICANN enforces it, it would be worldwide. The KEY is that the registry MUST allow the current .com owners to get the same domains as .xxx, without the regisgtered tm bs. If you own a .net, you are second in line. If they don't, I can see lots of lawsuits.
I see a lot of ifs ands buts and ors here... feels like Saturday morning watching Schoolhouse Rock...

Ya know I recall several of my hosting clients telling me how no major upstream would be blocking spam traffic either as it accounted for a large percentage of bandwidth.

There are no assurances here other than this whole thing stinks from every angle. My guess is some of the "trademark" consultants are the same as the TLD consultants... speaking for the entire industry.

Best part is those buying into the xxx landgrab bonanza.

Its all FOOL'S GOLD!!!
