The big problem with .xxx is that at the moment if you type in the domain bar, something such as google, it will take you to google.com (you no longer need to type www.google.com). Soon this is how people will get used to finding websites. But this only works with high level domains such as .com. [This is in explorer, not sure about other browsers].
The question will be, will .xxx be picked up on a single word, i.e. sex. I am sure you will be always taken to sex.com rather than sex.xxx. The way the net is developing, low level domains of any type will get less and less traffic. In fact, I bet most search engines will block out .xxx sites completely - mainly as non porn search engines will get more money from advertisers.

JUNE 02, 2005 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) yesterday approved a plan for pornographic Web sites to use new addresses that end with ".xxx," something numerous groups and U.S. political leaders have been seeking to try to prevent sexually explicit content from landing on the screens of young Internet users.
ICANN, the nonprofit organization that oversees technical matters related to the Internet, said it will begin negotiations with ICM Registry Inc. to resolve commercial and technical issues associated with operating the .xxx top-level domain (TLD). The decision in favor of establishing a virtual red-light district for providers of pornographic content and their customers represents a U-turn for ICANN, which rejected ICM's first application for the .xxx TLD in November 2000. Reasons for the objection are published in a document available on ICANN's Web site. ICANN, in Marina Del Rey, Calif., wasn't immediately available for comment. ICM argues on its Web site that .xxx Web addresses will shield children from pornographic content more effectively by allowing families and others using filtering software to block access to sites ending with this suffix. The International Foundation for Online Responsibility will sponsor .xxx, according to ICM Registry. The foundation is a Canadian nonprofit entity that will serve as the policy-making authority for the .xxx TLD. It is -- and will remain -- totally independent from ICM Registry, which is primarily funded by registration activities, the Internet registry company said. The nonprofit foundation said on its Web site it will promote online child safety and campaign against child pornography. "This foundation will provide assistance through various online support organizations and the sponsoring of technology tools and education programs for parents," ICM Registry said. "The online adult-entertainment industry wants to create an identifiable space with which its members can elect to associate themselves and wherein they can responsibly self-organize and create guidelines to promote credible self-regulation." ICM Registry, which is wholly owned by Chestermere Investments Ltd., will operate the registry. The company, according to its Web site, "is a financially stable and completely independent entity with no affiliation, current or historic, with the adult-entertainment industry." In 2000, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) joined several other U.S. politicians demanding ICANN to approve the .xxx TLD. In a paper available on the Web (download PDF), Lieberman wrote: "I think [the .xxx TLD] has a lot of merit, for rather than constricting the Net's open architecture, it would capitalize on it to effectively shield children from pornography and it would do so without encroaching on the rights of adults to have access to protected speech." http://www.computerworld.com/develop...102170,00.html

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN, the Internet governing body) has received a request to create .xxx as a new top-level domain name extension. Unfortunately, however, the extension is being peddled as a means of controlling adult content on the Internet. What you are not being told is that anyone can register Your Name under this extension. Thus, if you don?t register Your-Name.xxx now, your name can easily be associated with Internet pornography in the very near future.
What you are also not being told is that anyone can currently register and have operational any name under the .xxx domain-name extension through New.net. There are a couple of reasons as to why you may not be aware of the existence of .xxx: Newspapers and Internet news sites are in the business to report news, not to make recommendations. Thus, you hear about news only as it becomes available, but not the fact that such an extension, though not sanctioned by ICANN, already exists. In fact, some major ISPs host websites with these extensions just as they do .com. Attorneys are not in the business of being proactive in their warnings against damages to your identity, unless you are one of the few who has a personal or family attorney acting as your agent. There are several reasons as to why people have not registered their personal names under the existing extension so as to protect themselves: They believe and/or hope that someone with the same personal name will register it and not abuse it. These people will not act until, unfortunately, disaster is upon them. They believe that ICANN can protect them. Such a scenario is highly unlikely, as it requires legislation and enforcement, both of which are costly . For example, ICANN cannot prevent a porn star from registering his/her name under .xxx. They do not want to take a step that is not sanctioned by ICANN. However, should ICANN approve .xxx, it must make provisions for current owners of such domain names. They don?t have a domain-name agent to keep them informed and protect their interests. Ten groups have applied with ICANN for nine new domains: .asia, .cat, .jobs, .mail, .mobi, .post, .tel, .travel, and .xxx. You don?t want to be told or find out that an online search for your personal name results in a list of pornographic pages. That?s one more reason why you need a personal domain-name agent to ensure renewal, provide protection, and other sound advice. Alex Tajirian, President & CEO http://www.domainmart.com/news/opini...protection.htm

What a fucking joke. For that to happen, there first must be responsible parents who know what filtering software is, and how to use it. All these politicians and censorship advocates act as if the .xxx TLD will filter itself. Do these people have any clue how few households with children have filtering software in place?

Everyone seems to be missing this bit of information, directg from ICM:
Provided all goes to plan, we expect names to go on General Sale to members of the Community in the 4th Quarter of 2005. Prior to that there will be a period whereby potential registrants that have Intellectual Property interests in specific names can come forward to register that interest in those names and such names will be equitably allocated and subject to a recognized dispute resolution policy, where more than one party makes a claim over a particular domain name. |

translations = blowing smoke up your ass. Keep thinking this so you will keep thinking "it will be ok as long as i get my .xxx of my current .com name". Intellectual property does not equal " I own freegirlslive.com, so i should get freegirlslive.xxx " This will be for people with LEGAL rights such as Trandemarks, etc. What happens when the .com .net and .org for every decent domain applies for this so called " dispute resolution policy " who they give it to then. They will not go through this trouble to even try. These people are greedy money hungry assholes, the only reason they are even concerned with trademarks is because they know it will give them possible legal troubles. Everything else your on your own. This will start as early as 4th Quarter, Oct, Nov? Seems like we have a lot least 4 - 5 months to a.. consult with our attorny, for us all to put our heads together and see if there is something we can do to fight this.

yep... looking at this from both sides.. its hard to keep a positive outlook... because even though it makes it easier to label a site, the major threats of this situation for us is how it can be used against the porn industry... I agree with APN philip that it will make it MUCH easier for colleges and any institution to block the domains of people that are OVER 18... These institution are not into free speech, they love *protecting* their students... so that would cut down traffic... if they just make a new TLD and do not force adult content to those domains, then its awesome, BUT I don't even see how they could force adult content to these domains and enforce it? is it going to be a tattle tale system? where someone has to complain to the government for them to know about it?

Heres the simple solution to the problem. Do not buy any .xxx domains and blackball anyone that does. That means, do not trade traffic or submit to any .xxx site, whether it be a tgp, linksite, etc. Do not send any traffic to a .xxx paysite.
If that is done then very few people will seriously develop on a .xxx The main owners will be a few domain speculators that will buy up millions of them and lie about the typin traffic they are getting. |

Lensman, from your post you seem to support it; do you have something to gain from .xxx existing? Otherwise most people have the feeling it will be negative, so not sure why you'd want to promote it on GFY, other than a new advertiser trying to make money.
It seems quite apparent in this thread that it'll be a negative thing for a lot of people, and not a good idea; child protection can still be done by people submitting all of their sites to software protection; I personally think Microsoft should buy or release a CyberNanny duplicate free apart of Windows.. they should be socially responsible for it.. just as much as webmasters or anyone else to protect children. KRL or anyone else big want to talk to Microsoft about that? I don't have time. Matt

Also, motives for ICANN introducing .xxx is to make more money (they make $ per domain sold...) and also from US government pressure.

This is a stupid ass idea.
Why should anyone be forced to pay $60 a domain when that's 10 times the current market rate? I'm sure this registrar will grab the good domains through friends or associates. I say fuck .xxx.

So what are we supposed to do? Buy something that has rules and regulations set by people not even in the c.unting industry and therefore maybe not even be able to use the property.. or just fucking wait until it's mandatory in the US and buy .coms off the US webmasters forced on .xxx and pray it's US only and not ICANN itself or what?

I got this from Connor's link and it's a quote of part of Parry Aftab's comments:
"For kids, it's not a magic bullet, but it's a piece of the puzzle and will stop child pornography and stop child exploitation," she said. "Is it the whole answer? No, but it's an important piece, and little by little we'll be able to deal with this. It's a carrot-and-stick for pornographers on this one." I'd love to hear how the .xxx TLD will stop child porn. Are all child pornographers sharing the pics online or are there other means to share their pics? Are they even sharing the pics or making their own collections? Are they all taking pics? Of all the people I know that were exploited in their childhood, I can guarantee you this - their perpetrators didn't know how to use a computer, much less would they take pictures that could be used as proof. I suggest these folks go back to the drawing board cuz this won't stop either CP or Child exploitation. |

What does it take to introduce new TLDs like .PORN, .SEX etc. ???
Of course a lot of $$$, but I think more porn TLDs (at $15 per domain) would reduce the influence of .XXX Any comment is more than welcome !

There should be a '.kids' TLD. Basically the equivalent of using an email "white list" instead of a million black list filters..
I've contacted my registrar for any information they have on when they will be selling '.xxx' for real.

In the slaughter houses they have what are known over here as Judas sheep - sheep that are trained to lead other sheep up the ramps from the pens and into the slaughter house. The Judas sheep pass right on through and survive - the rest of the flock get slaughtered. Do you see any similiarities here?
