A related question:
Let's say the hypothetical affiliate does get permission from the affiliate program in question to send traffic from his {BrandName}.XXX to their {BrandName}.COM -- BUT it turns out that {BrandName}.COM doesn't conform to IFFOR's rules for .XXX sites (whatever those may turn out to be).... what then?
Will IFFOR permit the affiliate to continue promotion of {BrandName}.COM from {BrandName}.XXX, despite the fact that the .COM doesn't abide by IFFOR's rules and/or best practices?
Will IFFOR tell the affiliate that he can keep {BrandName}.XXX only if he does not promote {BrandName}.COM on the {BrandName}.XXX site/domain?
This is the sort of question that ICM should have been required to settle before ICANN would even consider their proposal/contract, IMO. For one thing, without answers to those questions and scores of other questions related to them, nobody knows how much or how little potential value .XXX sites will have.
If IFFOR allows linking from .XXX sites to .COM sites that don't conform to the IFFOR rules, then how meaningful are those rules, really?
In other words, can you still claim to be a "responsible" site operator if you link to sites that aren't similarly "responsible?"
Inquiring minds want to know. ;-)
