If we stand together and boycott .XXX, we reduce the amount of money ICM has in their war chest to push their agenda. If we keep .XXX discussions on the top of people's minds, we can educate those who are ignorant of what is happening and prevent them from being coerced into buying .XXX.
Agreed, but this isn't about freedom. That's protected in your bill of rights.

If GFY members or the porn industry could effect the outcome I would be all in favor of spending time to fight. After all the attempts to block .xxx it went through, so no effect there. People wil register .xxx if they see a financial benefit, not for some vague effect it might have on whether it lasts. The idea of online porn organising itself is funny though. Strange how people still believe it could happen.

I think .xxx will die because it won't get taken up in the numbers they expected. And the odds on it being mandatory are long. That might get challenged under Freedom of Information laws.

Live with it like 2257 and doing a tax return.
