"and of those proceeds, a percentage will be donated to Adult Sites Advocating Child Protection and the battle against child pornography"

I guess that answers the question as to whether or not ASACP was offered money in exchange for their support. It would be a shame if this .XXX thing ends up causing SERIOUS hardship on the industry and it was brought about so that someone could cash in on a percentage of each domain name sale. I'd like to know if the ASACP Advisory Counsel agreed to supporting this and if they did what their reasons were other than money, or if this was something that was mandated from above. Did Joan make this decision? Did Helmy? Seems that ASACP's mission is being used to justify this .XXX bullshit, and I find that VERY unfortunate. Has Helmy gone on record about this yet?

I was at one of their meetings where they were looking for support back in 2003, as were some I see posting in this thread.

I voted no, the majority of the people asked to raise their hands regarding adopting an xxx tld voted no.

This is bullshit, right from the start. It is relegating all of us into a managed and controled area.

Do not let this come to being.

What is wrong with ASACP supporting this bullshit? They are getting paid to support it?

If they are getting paid to support it, isn't that a conflict of interest with their supposed goals of protecting kids?

One of their main goal should be to protect free speech if they are industry supported.

If they don't support free speech, how are they any better than those right wing groups attacking porn and claiming it's for "the children"?

thats fucking great! that is an awesome idea

FSC has not supported the .xxx domains. They are bad for free speech. Money and a seat on the Board couldn't buy FSC support.

Now, whose your daddy?

Where do we complain?

Best thing I've read about this is that if we don't support a .XXX idea, then we shouldn't buy the domain names.

This action unfortunately brings potential risks. If for some reason there was a .com porn cleanup, you'd regret not having bought your .xxx domain. So essentially we're being forced to buy extra domain names to cover our ass, even though we don't want to, as a backup, in case this goes where we all can easily see it going. Without this company pushing for a .XXX TLD we would not be forced to do so. Isn't this illegal? There's gotta be a name for that.

That's like getting a new phone area code, and Bell telling us that we'll possibly lose our old phone numbers in the future if we don't buy a SECOND phone line now with the new area code. But even worse of course. WTF?!

I don?t suppose any of this will really matter unless the use of these becomes mandatory. I would really like to see a list of who stands to gain from this. Without naming any names, it disgusts me to see people attempting to profit from the current unstable atmosphere that surrounds the industry in the name of ?child pornography?.

That is bullshit. Everybody knows that CP to the mainstream adult biz is a scourge. Honestly, I don?t even know how CP guys make money because nobody I know would even process a transaction for that shit.

CP just gives people convenient high moral ground to stand on and there have been a number of organizations (including the government) that are using it to fuck with a lot of people right now. It?s a bullshit tactic, its wrong, and it obscures the real problem.

It would be very easy to make a meta tag that would block adult content. That would be free and I?m sure everyone would do it, plus if you made it mandatory it would be easy to enforce.

Why hasn?t anyone suggested anything like this?
