.xxx shakedown

[(Reuters) - In preparation for a new triple-x Internet domain that will launch in December, lawyers for the most storied brands in the United States are scrambling to prevent an x-rated rip-off of an invaluable asset: corporate Web addresses.

The domain operator administering the .xxx domain is accepting early applications from brand owners who want control over their names. ICM Registry says it has received over 900,000 "expressions of interest" from companies that want to preregister their trademarks or block others from snapping them up to create, say, a Barbie.xxx or Coke.xxx.

While some adult-content providers are paying the approximately $200 fee because they want to use the domain, other non-porn brands ranging from MTV Networks and Budget Travel to the Red Cross are preregistering to avoid future legal battles with cybersquatters who register trademarks with ...

Some businesses are in a bad spot ? many are just making payoffs. I can understand the anger of mainstream business. Maybe, in the next preemptive battle we will have company?

Honestly, I believe the fight is over and it's pointless wasting energy on this anymore.

This where the money is made for the .XXX guys. 900,000 X $200 a year= $180 mil a year for NON-porn sites. Anyone dumb enough to actually get a .XXX to use for a porn site is just gravy for them.

I do not understand why coke would feel the need to get coke.xxx - It has already been stated that .xxx can only be used for porn and ICM would have to be idiots to sell it, or make it available.

What's the purpose of .xxx when non adult would be there too. This is becoming useless.

granted I haven't looked into it for a long time, but can't copyright holders block their domain from being purchased for free?

Sure, they could buy it for $99/year and forward it to their main site, but I could have sworn you could make a domain "unregisterable" if you owned the copyright.

i.e. Disney could block disney.xxx for free.

in short yes they can with the right lawyers sending notices. Otherwise ICM wants to charge you some "fee" to make it unregisterable. I would personally spend the money on lawyers than pay them a fee

He claimed "900,000 expressions of interest" whatever that means. Not 900,000 purchases of domain names. I blame your poor education and the State of Florida for that one. He's lied about absolutely everything up to this point, not sure why anyone gives anything he says any credence now.

it's $200 for 10 years to block, not per year. still a lot of money

What the fuck is your problem? What did I do to you to warrant such a response from you? There was ZERO rasons for the insults. ZERO as in NONE. You can count to ZERO can't you? Did I piss in your cherriors this morning or pehaps your mom got anal herpes and blamed me. Whatever the reason GET OVER IT. Post like you want to be taken seriously and not some fucking troll.

I think it was your private message to me telling me I fuck goats or something like that simply because I disagreed with you somewhere. Quite odd that you went so far out of your way to do something that weird and to express your anger.

I've got some difficult news for you... you're an angry, disturbed and not very intelligent lunatic. (I still mostly blame Florida)

Sorry, apparently you heard a rumor that i rape goats. So I guess you were just passing it along and its just hearsay. You might have been doing me a favor... because obviously its insane to think you're angry, deranged and dumb.

here is the message you randomly sent to me in private:

So I hear you like to rape goats in the ass.
