Pre-registration doesn't mean people actually paid money. It only means that IF .xxx happens that people with other TLDs are interested in the .xxx equivalent. No actual financial commitment is required. Its primarily just to try to say there is support when there isn't. A few other dirty tricks that ICM Registry may pull.
> It says that you have to have owned your top level TLD since May 1st, 2006 to pre-register for a .xxx domain. What I am wondering is if that date holds a special significance. Did they pick that date because it falls before some of the more recent big domain purchases like porn.com? If so it may have been done to sell porn.xxx, sex.xxx and other high profile domains to the highest bidder.
> ICM says it will be holding "culturally significant" domains. Does this rule supercede any claim you may have to this domain? Is this simply a clever way to make huge backroom deals. I think it is.
> There are 100s of top level TLDs. There could be potentially tons of people all vying for the same premium domain. They claim to have some sort of secret tiebreaking system. They could sell their methodology or adjust it based on whoever pays them the most.
> Huge legal battles could ensue over domains like pussy.xxx. Pussy.org is the larger more well established domain but will the owners of pussy.com get the domain because that domain is arguably more valuable?
