Why .xxx sucks.... in our own words...

[Xplicit]

Browsing through all the .xxx threads, pages and pages long, some people here have made some very good points that are easily lost in the chatting.

All of these are very valid concerns, and when you put them all in front of you, theres no way you can support this.

If your quotes below, good for you :P

Say goodbye to your mid-afternoon sales:

Adults working at companies have credit cards and contrary to some people assertions, they DO buy porn while they're at work.

Also colleges could block xxx - again, ADULTS using credit cards would be blocked.

Those are just two examples.

Will they find other ways to buy it? Probably. But porn is an impulse buy: if they can't buy from your site right then it's doubtful they'll write the URL down and try it again later from a different computer.

I see a lot of people saying its ok as long as its not REQUIRED. Are you people fucking stupid? You don't think this is simply the first step? Once .xxx is alive for awhile, we KNOW some asshole in congress is going to use it to his advantage to push some conservitive agenda.

While I agree, it would make filtering sites VERY easy. I'll bet money that someday the government will pass a law REQUIRING all adult content on .xxx domains.

This is just the first step of sucking us in.

Will ISPs like AOL's *DEFAULT* setting be set to block .xxx?? Valid concern.

i can assure you some isps will block .xxx
6 months after its released they'll release an update with an .xxx filter thats default ON that takes a 15 line bat file to disable. it makes sense too, parents are too preoccupied with survivor to turn on the parent filters now, the isp will be helping those parents out. thanks aol, we love you

Existing TLD's can switch to .xxx - great, BUT THERES TONS OF DOMAINS THAT WORLDWIDE ARE CONCIDERED 'TLD'. Get ready for neverending court cases!

This would be fine if all porn sites were .com's, but many are on regional domains, such as .co.uk and so on.

So imagine say a Japan domain (or any other country) that owns the adult.dk (or whatever the Japan domain is). Now the Japan owner will have as much right to the adult.xxx as much as the .com owner (adult.com). Now think of the court cases.
