Of course, there is no need for .xxx However, few companies have 100's of brands (Jonson&Johnson?) Say what you mean — hundreds of SEO names with keywords ... If they contain Carlin's 7 words their revenues are at risk. Panda or some future search algorithm puts these sort of SEO names at risk too.

I suppose that these names might not be granted a trademark in the USA. However, I would think that paying the $100 a year to ICM in defensive registration would be a wise choice. Of course, if they had some legal angle and the money to sue ICM ...
Bottom line, this is a done deal unless someone is able to overturn it with some court order. Unifying the industry to just boycott .xxx and ICM is an option that will probably not work. Personally I have no intention of paying ICM anything. As I indicated before we will commence a WIPO action in any abusive registration of ACWebconnecting trademarked names.
