The only winners are the bible thumpers and the good folks at .xxx  |
Why shouldn't online porn be censored like offline porn is?
If .xxx becomes mandatory and the major buying countries do block it. Then offline porn porn will flourish again. And I'm sure all you clever people will be able to make a living in offline porn instead.
The US, and EU won't block it, even if mandatory. If the price for a .xxx rockets, it might mean a lot of small fish will get eaten up. And that's the most likely scenario. Try fighting the big coffers of companies like Manwin.
If it was likely to take porn off the Internet, Private, Hustler, Wicked and a host of other offline companies would be behind it. It's business.
IMO it's another thing to scare the cowards who work in the online porn business. There has to be something for these guys to get their knickers in a twist over, this time it's .xxx.
