Will mandatory .xxx put an end to porn piracy?

ICM Registry will offer current intellectual property owners the opportunity to reserve relevant domain names before going to the open market, enabling them to protect their brand names and intellectual property rights within .XXX.

How does keeping someone from taking topbucks.xxx compare with someone taking their content?

its not mandatory

won't be long now..

[Mikeh]

agreed...I don't think it is any different that having .com, .net, .whatever doesn't change anything, .xxx is a marketing gimmick ...

I read it as both trademark and content protection (intellectual property rights).

If mandatory, anyone hosting or distributing porn will be forced into .xxx. Or risk losing the domain. Register and running a .xxx domain will require going through the identification process. Most criminals will not go through that process

Actually they have stated there will be a seven person panel made up of various people including "industry leaders" and that $10 from each domain registered will go to the operations of this panel and their activities. Want to take bets on whether or not it ends up being some scumbag company with ties to piracy who ends up on the board and gets to control your $10 per domain contribution?

Again, I wouldn't be surprised if borderline "criminals" end up on the seven person panel.

haha domains have nothing to do with content.

[pornguy]

Not unless someone bought tube8.xxx and wont sell it to them.

Don't think ICM (*xxx*) will be your white knight in the prevention of privacy — doubt it will go down that way ...

well if thats the case do you want a random for profit company that runs .xxx that already hates the adult industry seizing domains that are supposedly pirating content? nope

[u-Bob]

LOL, and it will also protect the children, cure cancer, remove Gadhafi, end hunger, restore the value of the dollar,....

[BlackCrayon]

1. There is nothing that implies that.

2. It is not mandatory.

3. You are reading a lot more into this than I am, or you are reading entirely different articles.

Have some links that are causing you to come to these conclusions?
