    85% of the .XXX registrations are defensive.

    Link to Article

    Looks like an epic fail in the making in my personal opinion.

    At $70 per domain in revenue, the total revenue to date would be only $6,650,000 which, allegedly, is far less than they spent ramming .XXX up our industry's ass.

                  Good for them.

                  Edit: far less than they have spent thus far or will spend? The dotxxx guy said they will focus on the consumer branding in 2012, so plenty of spending yet to come.

                      What a tragedy;)

                      They will theoretically have the recurring yearly though, but I somehow doubt that is going to hold up.

                      Regardless it looks like they will be struggling to break even.

                          What if those 85% find out that ICM Registry recently started protecting trademarks for free?

                                  What the jerkoff who wrote the article forgot to mention is that names that aren't resolving (ie, where the registrant hasn't joined the sponsor community) won't show up in the zone file at all as they do not have DNS.

                                  Therefore, the zone file is not reflective of total registrations, only about 50-65% probably.

                                  85% total? Not a chance. He should stick to his 1998 web designing.

                                      Gee, then why do the domain names registered defensively show up since they are not supposed to resolve?

                                      Please clarify......

                                          "defensive" blocks are still pointing to ICMs nameservers in DNS, thats how an imbecile can supposedly "count" them so fast.

                                          I'm saying in his percentage he can't count the names that are registered but not resolving and have no DNS. There is a ton of them and no way to know what they are.

                                                                                  Also, even if the zone file is twice or three times as large, why would the percentage of defensive registrations change?

                                                                                  If adult webmasters are being given a priority, then the amount of defensive registrations not being added to the zone file due to their lower priority could eventually raise the percentage of defensive registrations to 90 or even 95% as the defensive registrations are slowly added.

                                                                                                                                                          Also, even if the zone file is twice or three times as large, why would the percentage of defensive registrations change?

                                                                                                                                                          If adult webmasters are being given a priority, then the amount of defensive registrations not being added to the zone file due to their lower priority could eventually raise the percentage of defensive registrations to 90 or even 95% as the defensive registrations are slowly added.

Politicians love it because they feel they've won over the industry and those that sell "snake oil" xxx walk away from those who believe they are protecting their name. Best way is to ignore them - don't buy the xxx and keep things going full steam ahead.

                                                                                                                                                                      "defensive" registrations were made during sunrise a/b, etc.

                                                                                                                                                                      the non-resolving names that you think are mostly defensive would have had to have been registered during general availability according to this idiocy.

                                                                                                                                                                      why would a trademark holder wait until general availability to register one of their marks? That's when the non-resolving names were registered. Those wouldn't be "defensive" those would be people who don't own trademarks.
