The price tag of this domain is irrelevant. The onlly thing that matters is if this tld becomes marshal law.
ICM 's, Iffor do or die rules, read like a govt. Hence mandate. And to start consolidating the internet, first with pornography is not going to go unnoticed like some ninja in the night.

Thankfully it takes some common sense and business thinking and not just pure greed and paying people off to be successful. Mr. Lawley might not want to fail but if he keeps the price high (hell even at $60 its pushing) he will fail.
the price tag is VERY relevant. Thankfully he thinks like you do.
High price, very few people buy, the domain becomes IRRELEVANT. What makes it *easier* or more likely for .xxx to become mandatory is if .xxx is being used heavily. RIGHT NOW the govt wants to block .xxx from being used. Their thinking is that they don't want more porn sites and they don't want to legitimize it by giving porn its own tld. If it flops (which it will with a high price tag) then they will feel satisfied that we didn't fill the net with more filth just the same as if they had blocked it. Either way, less porn and us not using as a way to legitimize what we do. Hell, since the govt totally doesn't get it right now they will probably think we were stupid for not jumping all over it.
Now on the other hand, if he was selling the shit for $10 and he had millions of registrations and lots of people putting up blogs, sites etc, there was a lot of hype and it was being talked about a lot in the media, Little Johnny's parents calling their Congressman asking why porn hasn't been blocked on .com since there is so many .xx sites... If that happened the govt's fears would be realized, they would see an explosion of adult sites and the numbers that Lawley is boasting (millions of registrations etc...) and they would switch gears and say "well since we couldn't block it and there is so many .xxx sites now, the least we could do is ban porn from .com and force them to stay in their own little ghetto (.xxx) BANK ON IT. this is the way it would go down. People and the govt are way way too predictable.
If we don't use .xxx, they would rather see it fade away as a floop, the last thing they are thinking right now is trying to force us over to something that they don't want in the first place. Only if millions of sites pop up on .xxx and it becomes very popular and heavily used will they change their way of thinking.
pretty simple, stuff. Do I have spoon feed it to you ? Like I said, I'm glad Lawley and his dumbass bro's don't have business 101 common sense. Everything hinges on how popular and used the tld becomes, which is a DIRECT result of how much it costs to register the shit.
