Re: [ga] Why the .XXX Domain is a Bad Idea That Won't Die
Pretty much agree with you on all counts here jeff. The trap is for more than those in the porn industry. The trap is for compnies to register their domain names in xxx to ensure it is not used which is pretty much just a blackmail scheme. The other trap is thinking that the porn industry can be forced to move to a new tld without compensating them for lost marketing dollars and sales. Since what they do is legal, they would have legitimate reason to sue whoever forced that mose. Besides that, it's a trap because the forced move would never be enforceable on everyone form every country. There are many reasons NOT to create an XXX TLD, but only because of the reasons that have been used for it's proposed inclusion. What I mean is that ANY TLD should be allowed to be created including dot XXX, but to suggest it will reduce or increase the amount of porn on the web or that porn will be forced to move there or any other of these notions is totally ridiculous. It should be allowed. But those involved should stop postering and lying about the real reasons. The real reasons are listed below. 1. MONEY from specilators 2. MONEY from people blackmailed into registering a domain name to protect their brands 3. MONEY for ICANN to spend 4. MONEY for another registry 5. Have I mentioned MONEY? Also this is not the company that already has a dot xxx in another root is it? Dot Biz ring a bell here?

Also as our members intuitively recognized that .XXX is a trap for those in the adult entertainment on the net.
