Hey Mike, you might be right on the money on that one....look forward to seeing you in Florida!
Check this out, i made a call to LFP ...Larry Flynts group, a friend told me to contact Michael direct under Larry and see what might happen, now i sent off an email to him:
MY EMAIL:
Michael,
I wanted to introduce myself and say hello, I want to congratulate your position executive vice president of LFP broadcasting, Internet.
I am speaking on the .XXX panel in Florida at Internext, I am firmly against the .XXX and everything it represents and does not.
I am in the Los Angeles area and very much like to extend a lunch meeting with you regarding this very important topic and say hello.
I just wanted to tell you that I have been speaking to many industry people who are not happy with .XXX. Tom Hymes, Conner and Brandon from fight the patent, at the moment a letter is being drafted by the entire Free Speech Coalition legal firm to Larry Flynt in regards to just how important it is that he speaks out against this or to put this whole new .XXX domain deal on hold. They play the ?support card? from Hustler fairly heavy. Most people know this has nothing to do with any protection of Children or there rights, merely a sales tool to bring this to our internet. What I wanted you to know is that it?s not to late to move to stop this now, and just to let you know a simple paragraph on Hustler stationary could set a number of things in motion and put this entire .XXX on hold or pause to take another close look at what and how it could effect our entire industry.
It would seem that this would fall into our freedom of speech now, and with letters from Senator Joe Lieberman and many others in support of this .XXX show which direction this is heading.
I would have rather in my own mind taken the course of some kind of action to try and stop something that most agree would be a very bad thing for our industry than sit back as so many other do, and let the process happen then later wish I did something. I am reaching out to you in the hope we can spend a little time to talk about this soon.
I look forward to talking to you and my direct number is below:
Regards,
Mike Hawk
LFP RESPONSE
Mike:
Larry Flynt and the Hustler organization have never said that it supported or was against .XXX. We have not taken a position one way or another with press or any other organization and any comments attributed to Hustler have been from former employees making their own opinions on what Hustler is doing.
Thanks
Michael H. Klein
President
LFP Broadcasting LLC/LFP Internet Group LLC
Now what makes this response back from LFP so interesting is that ICANN has a letter clearing of support from Hustler or a "person" within this group of .XXX saying they are supporting the .XXX when it would seem they are clearly not....hmmmm
Strange?
