Somebody has a script setup ready to go to auto buy all the .xxx URLs worth anything. Yep, a server dedicated to each major registrar.

I think this will simply alienate the adult industry... apart from protection for innocent eyes I do not see any advantages. Plus the .XXX release will simply cause a similar burst of domainpurchases as .IN did leaving the valuable domains to the big domainers.

censorship aside, it makes for an easier target. think about it, funnelling all porn into one tld means that it would be VERY EASY to filter it out at the source.
Bush doesn't like porn? No problem, all ISP's are now forced to filter out .xxx from their services. How about China? They will definitely do that. Right now, as whitehouse.com was an example of, it's very hard to tell what is and isn't porn just from looking at it. Once it's singled out and made very apparent, it'll become a big bold target that is very easy to hit. |

No, this is not a good thing. Make no mistake about it. This will turn out to be the worst move ever made.

.XXX is bad, but .XXX and its consequences are inevitable. Deal with it. If you are so worried about it, I'd suggest that you spend some $$ on registering a few trademarks (i.e. SleazyDream.xxx) that will help you sleep better at night in the next few months. It's worth it.
Gary Kremen owns the trademark for sex.xxx. I'm sure he's not worried as much as the rest of you are. $300 and you're done with it. |

And for the record EVERYONE is responding to this thread as if .xxx is mandatory. All of your arguments against it are IF it's MANDATORY. It's not mandatory and I highly doubt it ever will be. Imagine every single decent sized adult company in the world (includes playboy, hustler, etc. etc. etc.) suing the government because they told them that all of a sudden they can't use .com. Not gonna happen.

Sounds like they need a variation on the xxx to cover the variety of domains now available - as in all .com's switch to xxx. All orgs go to xxorg (hey, I like the look of that).
Honestly, I didn't see the problem with the rule until I saw this discussion. Never thought about how they would hand out the domain names. Getting past the admin nightmare that it would be, I think it would help in that it would take away the constant complaining from people who hit porno sites by accident. Remember WhiteHouse.com (? or something like that)- I hit that once at work trying to find the link for the real white house and man that was a surprise! CYN |

When the .WS registry came out, they reserved trademarked keywords for companies such as ebay.ws, microsoft.ws and quite a few others. That was a good system in my opinion, to allow Trademark holders first dibs at their registrations (and only theirs, not open to other name registrations other than their own TM's).

This is the problem with TLDs. They shouldn't have been used in the first place. The old AOL Keyword system is much better, and IMHO the internet will eventually adopt it. I give it 8 years.

i do not agree at all, as broughten up in this thread earlier the ".com" doesnt always have priority over the .net and .org. so if a .net and .org site get more traffic and have more income than the .com? you really think they are going to allow the ".com'ers" to just take the .xxx domain? that is like saying that because you own adult.com and are an american citizen you should own adult.us. it is no ones fault that you put an xxx site on the .com. it just doesnt work that way, this will be a free for all just like all domain registration. you cannot regulate domain registration based on prior registrations, if you own the trademark, thus you will just be going through the same steps as getting a .com. |

How will this ever be a mandatory program? There will always be countries that reject the proposal and you could host your servers there.
What happens if you don't opt for moving from the .com gTLD will you be forced? if so, how? It's rather 'Chicken Little' to be predicting the death of the Porn industry with the release of a gTLD with a voluntary signup status. perhaps, with the rampant paranoia you should ask that ICANN be moved to the United Nations? so when the Government trashcans the constitution and decides to remove all access to .XXX they cannot use ICANN as a vehicle to remove you to a .COM concentration camp? j/k |

How would it cause a 40% decrease in sales?
So parents will now block all .xxx domains and schools will too. Thats less people who are not going to buy porn, meaning less bandwidth, but the same amount of sales.

Lensman, wanted to hear what you say on this important matter, cause you are one of the very influential peeps in this whole biz. Now saying that I dont think that I am to comfortable with this very secret bunch or group of people selling this idea and using the "ASACP or the Child Protection angle" as there cover or selling point. It just really makes me sick to my stomach to think that a small group of greedy people can sink that low to make some money. Something smells like bullshit.

1) you can have a voluntary .XXX -AND- US government prosecution via 2257 and obscenity.. so having .XXX or not doesn't alleviate government interactions. Having a mandatory .XXX for US-based websites (much like with 2257) with just make it easier to prosecute, since it would no longer require DOJ onsite visits.. they simply need to check the location of the "offending" .COM, see that it is in US jurisdiction, and pretty quick to judgement. ISP could even be required to review all domains hosted at their faciilites for their "adult" classification. ISP are already required by law to report CP activities, so it's not a far stretch for ISP to be the watchdogs (and be legally required to do so). 2) ICANN wouldn't/couldn't enforce anything. Their organization is about self-labelling. WHile they support .XXX because it is a form of "labelling", they have no enforcement powers. ICANN's authority exists globally, so ICANN could make it a content rule that adult related material must be in .XXX, but they have not taken that approach, and have instead, offered the TLD to be managed by ICM Registry. Certainly there are implications that public and private sector could use a .XXX extension for filtering, taxing (if US), etc, but that has nothing to do with ICANN, other than their approval gives the realistic and very feasible method for which all of the above can happen. What could happen, is that pro-XXX lobbyists (including the US gov't) could convince other countries to do the same, thus getting to the global coverage of mandatory .XXX that you don't have a problem with. If .XXX is to be something used as a tool to classify and categorize websites, it would seem better that the United Nations be the ones that administers this and collects the funds, since the scope is international. Imagine the situation where "your porn dollars at work" displayed over 3rd world country development projects as the revenue gained from sales of .XXX goes to good causes, rather than to those who are the private shareholders of ICM Registry (tho if you subscribe to "trickle down economics" then having a few fat cats is good for the economy then) Fight the Voodoo Economics!

Ya know I recall several of my hosting clients telling me how no major upstream would be blocking spam traffic either as it accounted for a large percentage of bandwidth. There are no assurances here other than this whole thing stinks from every angle. My guess is some of the "trademark" consultants are the same as the TLD consultants... speaking for the entire industry. Best part is those buying into the xxx landgrab bonanza. Its all FOOL'S GOLD!!!

And -- In my view someday forcing porn into xxx might be a good thing. Obviously not too many of you have kids, or you would know that filters don't work. Take any pc loaded with filters and go google hunting, and you can quickly come up with porn. That is the problem and there is no apparent solution.

I don't like the .xxx idea, sure it would be cool to get a .xxx ending, but as long as we can still promote pron on .com
and I think moving all porn sites to .xxx is actually the worst way to stop censorship, then they just have to block that ending and all porn is censored... |
