Why do we need an opt out process for XXX?

Why do we need an opt out process for XXX? And why should anyone pay for it?

Why would the folks at Ebay want to pay $300 to "block out" ebay.xxx when instead they can just wait for someone to buy it and then sue them for a zillion bucks?

We don't need it. The ICM wants you to believe we need it. Just another scam.

My guess would be they are figuring it would cost much more than $300 to sue, and that is why they feel they can gank people with a fat fee. $300/$600, etc.

I'm assuming ebay would have to pay their lawyer more than that to even start on the case. Of course. And that is their logic.

Doesn't make it ok, or that it is going to work out though! They're being rather greedy. I don't see how it is going to happen that way. Plus it is quite complicated.

Whats weird is how this is going to work for mainstream.

If u are legit movie company and u pay ICM's protection money, so some moron wont put words boob or dildo in your title, u have to buy each domain for all different movies u own? For all future new release titles?

Seems crazy a porno company would charge "legit" businesses to register domains, "or else we make it a slut and butt site".

Maybe not much sympathy, extorting porn webmasters, but to extort "legit" businesses doesnt seem like positive publicity.

If concerned and want to shake things up, go to as many fortune 500 companies as you have time for and alert them to this as an "anonymous stockholder concerned about any revenue being paid to dot-xxx that might be viewed as extortion by the SEC". Send links to the Xbiz article. That will make the ground rumble in a hurry, as most mainstream corps have no idea this is about to come up and bite them.

Cheers

Yes because ebay is in the business, along with anyone else in the world that owns a trademark, to pay hundreds of dollars to a pornography company so they can "protect" them.

Yeah good luck with that.

Do you get a t-shirt or coffee cup with a .XXX registration at that price?

Maybe a reach-around at least?

I'd certainly hope so.

Its a nice way of catching in people who would have no intention of buying it but own a trademarked word.

Does come across as exactly the same as all the emails saying "the .com of your .co.uk domain is available and someone other than you wants to buy it. just checking you don't want it first at 10x it's value....." That works well enough i regularly have to waste loads of time explaining to people its bullshit
