We are blackballed when other large corporations are allowed to make money off the same thing we do. We just have to find a way to control it better, and while they think this is a good solution, it definitely has its pros and cons. Personally, I would have been for .xxx had they started it from the beginning. But I do see why it's almost impossible to integrate with the .nets and .orgs. This will definitely be a battle ... and the outcome will be interesting. |

1 Say good bye to all your college surfers and daytime work surfers, those make up alot of sales. They will be no more. 2 People act like America is the world and its not, so offshore they are still using .com while we are here in filter hell. 3 Every right wing religious group will be writing every isp if you let .xxx you are supporting porn. So most will be shut out because unfortunately there are alot of porn viewers but they are not a vocal group because they dont want to be associated with porn. 4. if protecting kids was important they would do a cheap .kids domain for 5 bucks each with a .kids only browser . 5. everything doesnt have to be child safe thats the parents job and actually porn isnt a physical danger to kids , yahoo chat rooms and myspace sites are and they will not be regulated. |

tony404 I agree .kids would be better and the ultimate responsability rests with the parents and trust me I am not THRILLED about .xxx itself but I am thrilled that for the first time the government is actually considering something that acts as regulation, and we need it, we have needed it so bad for so long.

Do you own your own program or biz in this industry, or have you fully looked into what is really going to happen here? Its about"control" one more step from taking away the rights again. |

If not then you really are either obstinate or naive because you certainly aren't intelligent - but then that's obvious from your oh so eloquent reply. |

Exactly what and who he is............... "This bill will section off a piece of the Internet neighborhood and confine adult sites to one location," the Montana senator said. |

If all your sponsors are wasting their resources on trademark litigation, your affiliate payouts will have to be lower. If all your sponsors have to spend their dough on rebranding new domains, your affiliate payouts will have to be lower. Most importantly, who gets to decide what goes on a .XXX domain? Access to information about birth control and breast cancer and homosexuality and outsider art and all differing political views could all be fairly effortlessly sent to Siberia, if this goes through. Web sites fundamentally are something which should enable the more free exchange of ideas and information. The totalitarian potential of a system which allows web sites to be easily ghettoized and subjected to bizarre and unusual regulation . . . well, it is appalling and staggering. Lastly, if you want to know how this could impact you directly: Although this won't impact me negatively at all, if they impose stricter copyright and record-keeping rules as proposed on .XXX domains, then folks with your business model will be fined and statutory-damaged to kingdom come. |

Is this Splum guy series? He must have an agenda....
and if he doesn't have an agenda he is a fucking moron. |
Splum, You keep posting about how regulation will make you more money. Unless you are controlling the entire supply chain (ex. VISA/MC, Major SEs, Hosting, ISPs, Producers etc.) on the internet + decision making politicians, then you have no clue to how this will end up. You are wishful thinking, you have no facts to base your expectations on!

it's simple... either you are "for" the .xxx or you are "against" ... bickering back and forth with each other isn't going to help or hinder what is going on right now.
If you would like to help, whether you are a small program, independant site owner or large program - it all helps.

Also, the ACLU has some good resources for writing your senators etc.
|
It all sounds so simple ... just use xxx! ...
* The government will leave us alone. NO, once we are all in one easy to oversee category they will add regulation upon regulation until there is a code that matches the IRS's in volume. * Any Porn is always a good target when running for re-election ... * Eventually they will "tax" xxx ... Wanna Bet? |
When I read this stuff it just reminds me of all the webmasters that went berserk and shut down their sites and dumped tons of content because of some ridiculous and unconstitutional law that had been proposed. What was it again? Oh yeah, 2257 and making webmasters secondary producers.
I'm not for .xxx, but this just looks like another scare tactic to generate more profits for a certain organization. |

I am in agreement with Mike Hawk and The Other Steve... he's a plant and here to cause conflict when the .xxx is brought up on message boards. I do however, agree with you Amelia, that it is good to openly discuss the pros and cons so that those people who are uncertain may possibly be persuaded in a different direction. Thanks AmeliaG for posting the link for letter writing your senators... every bit helps! |
