Oh. I understand what baddog was getting at... because I am slow and I dont want to be CONFUSED (condescending prick). The .xxx works exactly as any other tld....if I have a trademark but I dont register ALL of the tlds anyone can use them. I didnt know that.
Very nice of them to give pattysflowershop.com a bargain of only $200 to protect her name from the " primary extension for websites of companies in the adult entertainment industry and so that is not used by third parties who wish to profit of the notoriety of the
said trademark in order to exploit it for adult entertainment purposes".
Sorry, at the very least I see a sales pitch here. It appears to me they are trying to scare mainstream into purchasing "protection". In the spiel the email used the "concrete" example they were protecting gandi.net against the sinister perverts. But my question is why? Why is there a need to protect that name from an adult site "capitalizing on the trademark"....it makes no sense. It is a scare tactic to drum up a few dollars...period. If it wasn't, why wouldn't they send out an email like this with every new tld?
I havent listened to baddog's video because I dont really give a shit. He may have great insight but he seems like a crotchety old fuck and a legend in his own mind.
