What are the odds adult sites will be relagated to a specific TLD one day? - GoFuckYourself.com

KRL · 03-22-2004, 11:17 AM

Though I could see this happening where porn could all get placed on a specific TLD like the .xxx or .sex ones for example down the road, I think there would be enough litigation resulting that the odds are pretty slim.

You run into the same problem of having to define what should and shouldn't be classified as adult like you do with the word obscene.

I doubt for example Playboy would agree to be Playboy.xxx. And what if its a discussion forum geared towards adult sexuality issues?

It gets really complex when you try to segregate sites since there is no unified opinion on the Net from hundreds of countries, all of whom have different cultural standards on sexual content.

What's everyone thoughts on this?

I doubt it will happen tbh but then again I went out with this chick who thought bj's were gross..well next thing you she is on her knees gobbling my knob..so you never know

Fletch XXX · 03-22-2004, 11:21 AM

well, it couldnt be .xxx since not all "adult material is "XXX" hardcore...

i doubt playboy, would like playboy.xxx

and many others would disagree with the xxx though.

could be .adl for adult, but then the Jews would get made because you use ADL,...

GeorgeK · 03-22-2004, 11:21 AM

0% chance.

If your grandma has a phone number of 1-212-555-1114, and a strip club is at 1-212-555-1115....that's perfectly legal. Strip clubs aren't forced to be on 1-900 or another exchange.

JFK · 03-22-2004, 11:23 AM

They are trying hard to make it a reality, at first I tought It was a good idea , but now I dont think so. If you have the option to do so its great but not by force

Yeah...I went out with a girl who said, "I don't do that," but after a night out drinking in Hoboken, NJ she sucked my cock dry.

Jer · 03-22-2004, 11:25 AM

.com is supposed to mean "commercial", and since adult sites are looking for profit they shouldn't have an special TLD.

Giorgio_Xo · 03-22-2004, 11:26 AM

Zero odds. The Constitution will get in the way.

Gotta love exceptions.

it could happen, but I sure hope it doesn't.

But then again visa could stop auto-rebills for adult sites and I hope that doesn't happen either.

ever tried to cancel AOL?

Bought my little brother an account a few years ago.

They charged and charged me after I called and had it killed.

Nysus · 03-22-2004, 11:31 AM

Instead of a .xxx or .sex extension, they simply need to force everyone to submit their adult oriented site to a content rating system, which already exist, though there are no laws enforcing it. I would hope something like that would be put into place. Then all search engines and such would tie into that database and therefore if someone's looking for porn, they have to mark they're looking for adult content.

Not sure why it hasn't happened - I guess the right people aren't lobbying for it.

Cheers,
Matt

Heywood Jablome · 03-22-2004, 11:33 AM

It won't happen until after they figure out a proper way to tax the internet.

Imo, they are going to tax it via email to start (under the guise of spam control). I think they already have that figured out.

I have mixed feelings...

one the one hand, being on an 'approved' adult TLD would allow people to operate freely in an adult community so-to-speak...

however, I'm an insanely HUGE fan of the 1st Amendment so of course there are obvious issues with delegating what is and is not adult, who should be forced to operate only within those confines, limitations, perceived limitations, etc....

do I think it will happen eventually? you betcha...without a doubt...

as for the last part of your question, I've thought for quite some time that there needs to be an International body governing and VOTING on issues that affect this globally powerful resource...I hate to say it but the closest thing we have to this now is the UN, but even that is problematic as not ALL countries are on-board....

I did, however, catch wind that the UN was having some sort of Internet discussion within the past few months or at least scheduled something on the topic....definitely worth watching....

Yeah, when I think about thee two things, then I feel very

I doubt it will happen, but i am afraid of it, like I can be afraid of cancer.

And if it happens..well, there will be a legal mess.
Who should get these new names..should sex.com get sex.xxx, should adult.com or adult.net get adult.xxx....?
Maybe if they got a trademark...
but hey, i can have a trademark for The Hun in indonesia ( ppl claiming bogs trademarks, like when .INFo was introduced ) and register tehehun.xxx and than until the Hun takes me to court ( it would take years of WIPO work if everyone did such things ), i make profit from that domain name and he gets sued for still having adult content on the .com and .net domains...

err...no, The Hun coulnd't be sued by the US government anyway and I doubt ICANN would sue anyone with adult content on the old .net and .com domains...

There would be simply too much issues with it...and some poeple say it would be against the US constitution

But at first I hope that the ICAANN approved .xxx domain will not be established at all.

sorry if i am not clear enough, this is an interesting topic, but i donlt have time right now to posts more precizely

Interesting idea, but they cannot force everyone to submit their sites either.

Meloman · 03-22-2004, 12:15 PM

There's a lot of reasons for and against this idea.

The #1 reason though why we WOULDN'T want this to happen is because it would be too easy to filter out adult content from the browser or ISP level.

ISP's can automatically block out sites with extension .xxx and companies could do the same to keep workers from viewing porn at work.

Wives would always signup for the "family friendly" version of there ISP thus also stopping the possiblity of "Daddy" ever sneaking a peak now and than.

So while this wouldn't be the end of adult internet by any means, but I think it would take out a huge chunk of income.

SleazyDream · 03-22-2004, 12:30 PM

I think any website restriction will in the future be done on an individual browser basis, not server or host side.

NetRodent · 03-22-2004, 12:39 PM

Recently a new RFC (Request For Comments) was released stating that .sex (and similiar TLD's) are inherently dangerous. For those of you who aren't familiar with RFC's, they are basically the design specs for the internet.

Here's the actual RFC by Donald Eastlake of Motorola Laboratories:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3675.txt

Here's some discussion on the RFC:

HS-Trixxxia · 03-22-2004, 12:47 PM

I think it would make more sense for them to create family safe TLDs since not everyone has children and you are limiting their viewing - here is more on the subject of how I see it should go.

I don't think that will happen as if it dose everyone will stop using e-mail and just use programs like ICQ and AIM...
