Some of the more interesting parts

ICANN staff will now craft a contract with ICM Registry Inc., the Jupiter, Fla., company that made the bid. If the board and ultimately the U.S. Commerce Department approve it, ".xxx" names could appear in use by the year's end.

Skeptics argue, however, that porn sites are likely to keep their existing ".com" storefronts, even as they set up shop in the new ".xxx" domain name. And that will reduce the effectiveness of software filters set up to simply block all ".xxx" names.

The ".xxx" domain "legitimizes this group, and it gives false hope to parents," said Patrick Trueman, senior legal counsel at the Family Research Council and a former Justice Department official in charge of obscenity prosecutions.

The adult entertainment industry is also hardly behind ".xxx" as a group. Many of its webmasters consider the domain "the first step toward driving the adult Internet into a ghetto very much like zoning laws have driven adult stores into the outskirts," said Mark Kernes, senior editor at the trade monthly Adult Video News.

But given the limited effectiveness of a voluntary ".xxx" for filtering, Internet filtering expert Seth Finkelstein calls ".xxx" no more than a mechanism "to extract fees from bona fide pornographers and domain name speculators." (ICANN also gets an unspecified cut of each registration fee.)

Anti-porn activist Donna Rice Hughes, however, remains unconvinced.

"They are not going to give up their `.com' addresses," she said of porn sites. "It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that one out."

Amazing the stange bedfellows this thing is making.

Yeah, I read that too. Was interesting point about CC processing maybe lighten up if the domain being processed for is on a .xxx. Although I'd believe it when I saw it.

Also nice to see a push for ".kids" as I've been preaching about, lmao. Easier to just lock a childs browser to .kids ONLY than to try to filter off things.

disney.kids
cartoonnetwork.kids
nick.kids
pokemon.kids

would be such a pain in the ass for them to switch.

PornGeneral · 06-13-2005, 08:48 AM

$60/domain or $6.99/domain

Hmm which do you think webmasters will use?

lol yep it would be a pain for them to switch, but browsers could auto-preset to them for instant bonus on new bundled computers. And it also goes directly to the stated purpose of the zillion other attempts to "protect kids".

That's what I say. I think its a fantastic idea to have a g rated section of the net for kids and families only.
And there are tens of thousands of huge companies who would pour hundreds of millions of dollars to have a kids and parents only section of the internet.
Its great PR for them.

Toy companies, food companies, entertainment networks, diaper companies, magazine publishers, medicine companies, clothing companies, any family oriented companies, any company that wants parents as their customers.

This effort would truly have an endless supply of cash.
These big companies would be tripping over themselves to give money and get their name on this.
having a .kids section of the net is a win win for everyone.

Woa...

"As envisioned, ICM would charge $60 for each of up to 500,000 names it expects to register, $10 of which would go to a nonprofit organization that would, among other things, educate parents about safe surfing for children."

I like how they say that and not ASACP...

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 06-13-2005, 09:14 AM

$60 x 500,00 = $30,000,000

Easy money.

The nonprofit, run by representatives of adult Web sites, free-speech, privacy and child-advocacy concerns, would determine registration eligibility.

what? ... the nonprofit group determines who is eligible to register?!?!
you've gotta be kidding me *shaking head* .. unbelievable

Yes you read that right.

Soon none of you will mind a bar code on your arm.

You can still be a pimp.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 06-13-2005, 09:34 AM

vicki · 06-13-2005, 10:00 AM

IMO the commerce department will approve it for sure

Babagirls · 06-13-2005, 10:04 AM

it would make more sense to allow ONLY .kids sites rather than filter out EVERY domain except .kids & make us switch to .xxx
