The whole .xxx thing raises some interesting and challenging questions on intelectual property rights as well.<br /><br />Take one of the really big porn sites like:<br />www.sublimedirectory.com<br /><br />Do they automatically get first rights to:<br />www.sublimedirectory.xxx<br /><br />or what about:<br />www.sublimedirectoryxxx.com<br />or<br />www.sublimedirectoryx.com<br /><br />?<br />There is going to be a lot of confusion here, people are going to scramble to register each others domains with xxx extensions.<br /><br />There are not easy answers to this, but the industry standard has become .com - my prediction is that .com will just become even stronger defacto standard.
I do not want porn on the general internet, get into its own .xxx extension. Make it a law that visitors to this tld also have to sign in or become members. Make it a law that no posting of porn exist outside the .xxx tld and no redirection of phishing pages to porn sites. If the president has to think more than 5 New York minutes on this, then ask Hillary or Nancy how they want him to handle it.

Having all of the porn sites be required to move to the .xxx domain would not be violating their free speech rights. Blocking them from being on the internet entirely would be. Instead we would be putting them into a different domain of the Internet.
All of their material would be viewable from there and no where else (at least U.S companies). Think for a minute why they say they will fight tooth and nail to keep from being required to move to the .xxx domain. It is because they know that it would be so easy to filter them out for children or young adults. There is so much free porn on the Internet, and it is teenagers who have computers in their rooms that frequent them, among others.
Of course they don't want to be blocked from being viewed by these people. Their traffic will decrease substantially. If this is not the reason they object to being moved to the .xxx domain then what is? What, they can't set up a redirect to allow people that go to their .com site to be redirected to their .xxx site, with the same name? They can do that easily. After a certain amount of time they would then be required to give up their .com domain, after customers have had a chance to favorite the new .xxx site name.
There is no legitimate reason as to why they should not be forced to reside in the .xxx domain. A child should not be able to stumble across an adult .com site. When a child turns on the t.v in a basic cable setup, with all the standard channels, there is no possible way for them to stumble across porn (hardcore of soft). The Internet should be the same way. The government needs to wake up and do what is right and pass some laws that requires this to be so. This way, all the perverts out there can still view their smut at a .xxx domain, but the parents have an easier way to block children from accessing it.
