Screaming · 05-07-2006, 12:23 PM

No. It hasent started yet, and yes, its going to be like a gold rush when it happens. The lucky sap that snags a few choice domains is going to end up with a nice take.. Or some nice lawsuits.

You dont think adult.com is going to go after adult.xxx with everything they have as soon as who ever regs it?

Same goes with all the golden domains.

Should be very intresting to say the least.

blazi · 05-07-2006, 12:24 PM

so they have finally passed the .xxx TLD?!? about time if that's true!!

FuckU2 · 05-07-2006, 12:31 PM

I would be very careful about buying .XXX domains if they get passed by ICANN. There are quite a few cleaver webmasters who have registered their adult domains and i mean ® not just the ? that everyone places by their logos. Register Sex.xxx and Playboy.xxx and see what happens !!

slapass · 05-07-2006, 12:33 PM

It seems the simple solution is to offer the .xxx to the current .com owner.

Thats probably what will happen. For things like this they typically do a closed registration period, where the big trademark owners can get their domains first, then open it up later.

Thats whats happening with .mobi for mobile internet sites

FuckU2 · 05-07-2006, 12:36 PM

Silly, that's way toooooooooo sensible ?

KRL · 05-07-2006, 12:37 PM

Don't you guys get it?

If they pull off the .xxx extension, the next step will be all the ISP's installing filters to block it. Then the government is going to force the major search engines to filter out anything with a .xxx TLD. IE will be set to block .xxx also.

Wake the fuck up.

Duh.

tenderobject · 05-07-2006, 12:44 PM

for sure .xxx would be banned in my country. so fucking obvious!!! especially for kids and young ones

Duh.

if that happens i can see isp's losing almost half their customer base. i can see more realistically an option that allows people to have it filtered or not, and with google the safesearch thing will probably be applied to the .xxx sites. either way, i don't care for it and think there would be much better ways of going about protecting kids.

slapass · 05-07-2006, 01:00 PM

ISP's cannot ban XXX if they want customers. Look at AOL and how hard they tried to keep out adult. Their membership started to decline once people found other ISP's were open.

$5 submissions · 05-07-2006, 01:06 PM

Don't forget the following issues that will have a big impact: the .xxx TLD is a direct fit for filtering software and ISP 'discrimination' re such domains and segregation of adult sites to an online 'red light district' = way less traffic.

No way. the sponsors are going to rely on their trademarks etc to get to xxx if they have too. They are the big money and I suppose they are not worried.

Why no way then why arent they speaking up this is going to hurt them more then it hurts me.There are lots of hot domains that arent trademarked or the .com version isnt adult. I bet deals were made.

Simple scenario:

1) .xxx is made available.
2) politician bent on "making the internet safe for children" will legislate that any adult content must be on an .xxx domain.
3) credit cards will refuse to process for sites that are non-compliant
4) ISPs wanting to offer only "family-friendly" internet access will filter out all .xxx access.

and behind all this, in the scramble to comply, a few big players with gobs of money will buy up the majority of .xxx domains, willing to sell them off at a reasonable (gah) price.

Companies that own various domains must battle it out: ie: Company A owns sex.net and Company B owns sex.com and both are adult, so they both need the .xxx domain, but only one can get it.

Are there many big sites with one on .net and one on .com that are truly not the same?

they can already, if for example your WHOIS info isn't in order, you can already have your domain taken off you.

to answer your actual point, they don't need to get you off .com, they just need to disallow adult material on .com
a simple TOS matter, at the end of the day.

warlock5 · 05-07-2006, 04:40 PM

If we want to block .xxx we need to take the position of the right that it will only mean more porn online. I recommend everyone calls up any right wing talk shows and tell them this, and urge listeners to write to block .xxx.

Exactly!

Not only that, do you think the average adult webmaster will have much of a shot at the valuable .xxx's??? The system will be gamed by those with deep pockets. Wake up!

it has been done ( although without any influence from our side ) like 9 months ago

Family Research Council mass-emailed ICANN and the Department of Commerce saying exactly that

its possible that we need to thank them that .xxx is not accepted yet

but now its good that they also hear the adult industry is against it too

So can you put up a non-nude free site on the .com that directs traffic to the .xxx "Click Here to see me naked" type?

ISP won't filter out porn or .XXX or ICRA ratings or whatever. Porn and P2P are the major drivers for high speed bandwidth. The consumers wants access to porn, and the ISP merely provide the conduit.

If a parent wants to pay extra for their ISP to do filtering, they absolutely have that right. So if an ISP uses a blacklist, .XXX, ICRA rating, etc, there is nothing wrong with that... a parent or individual that doesn't want to see porn, is never going to be customer, so there is nothing lost by filtering.

IE already has the PICS setting that people can block out porn based on the PICS/ICRA rating. Again, there is nothing wrong with this, since the kind of people who want filtering, aren't customers anyways.

And lastly, yes, search engines SHOULD be doing some kind of filtering, and they don't need .XXX for that.. plenty of other ways to do so.

So to stay back on track with this thread target, yes, it will be landgrab for some... let them. Let them rush to spend their $75/domain and let them be the first ones to get blocked!

Stick with your .com and vote against .XXX by not getting the domain. Getting a .XXX domain and not using it, is the same thing as voting for it... you think you are hedging your bet, but what you are doing is sticking money into ICM's bank account.

What happens when lawsuits start hitting ICM, that they are distracted or don't have the funds to set up the infrastructure to handle the volume of lookups for .XXX?

Your money and your .XXX sit in limbo.

If your money is going to be sitting somewhere, it should be making you money.

Fight the .XXX!
