Even a adult check to keep minors out of out netorks would be helpful...
I am hoping that some regulation comes via an international effort and I do believe it should be a TLD.
One of the reasons why I backed the .sex extension believing that it might help slow the glut of free porn and unverified adult sites with some regulation. Unfortunatly .sex was all about greed and no effort for real self regulation and at the 11th hour I changed my mind about it as the facts of it were not fair or just for the industry.
If such a thing come forward again I hope that it is wrritten properly and drafted correctly to protect our industry, while keeping minors out.
.Sex could work if the right guys were behind it and the concept was not greed centric.

Well, it could work if there was an international agreement about it, which is hard to reach. I don't think the industry is shit-canning itself, it's only certain elements. unfortunately the big ones. From what I've seen parts of the the adult industry seem to be totally unwilling to accept any legal or moral limitations. I hate to use the word "morals" but if I see a torture site where militias chop someone's hand's off or rape underage girls with a banner of an Adultfriendfinder-subsidiary on top it makes me puke. This is living proof that self regulation in this industry doesn't work. We are all going to take the brunt for some people online insurgent tactics, eventually.
As for the other part of my post, this was in the Times this morning:
