Title: Leaders in the Online Adult Industry Support .xxx

I write this to communicate my support for the .xxx TLD proposal. I write as an experienced member of the online Adult Industry and have been since 1995.

I currently own an Internet marketing company specializing in adult website marketing since 2001. Prior to that I was President of IGallery, as subsidiary of New Frontier media, a NASDAQ listed company from 1996 to 2001 and prior to that was VP of Marketing for Hustler launching its flagship site in 1995.

I am also a director of the Free Speech Coalition since 2001.

All these companies share one belief ... that child pornography is illegal, it is morally wrong and it should be stopped. This application demonstrates that belief and that the adult industry is prepared to both do something about child pornography and open up a dialogue with the broader Internet community.

.xxx offers an opportunity for the online adult industry act responsibly.

It provides a new forum and platform for the online adult industry to begin to self-organize and to develop their own credible and responsible business practices.

I have personally met with many of the leaders in the online adult community from around the world ... from Python Communications in Curacao ... to Netcollex in the UK ... to Hustler, Vivid, AVN and many many more have all demonstrated their support for this application.

In addition, there is great concern about the risks posed to the industry if .xxx was to ever become a generic TLD.

No other application has stronger industry support or as broad and diverse a community of International supporters from all impacted stakeholders.

My only question would be, did they know that the Govt would jump in, and if so would they just not care or give a fuck? Now if it were you would you really care, if you made a deal with the Govt/Devil and a shit load of money was at stake, would that make ok?

You guys are too obsessed with these issues. Every business environment has obstacles to overcome, just deal with them.

well, i'd be interested to have greg dumas explain to us how .xxx would help children in any way, 'cause i can't see it at all. parents don't use filters, so what would keep kids out of .xxx?

and if parents DID use filters (i don't know a single one who does), would just having a pict code or dirty words on the page pretty much protect the children?
