If EU has such great influence then why did .XXX get passed in the first place? European Commissioner for the Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes was so outraged it passed, she flew all the way over here to the states to try to get ICANN to stop the launch of it. We all know how that went.
As for porn being protected, refer back to my previous post honoring our past pornographers like Flynt, who fought censorship and paved the way for all of us to produce this medium known as porn in the United States. That said, Congress never legitimized pornography. The courts ruled that local states, cities and counties can prosecute obscene material that violate community standards. Prosecution's been happening for over 30 years and continues to happen.
Rob Black, Lizzy Borden and Max Hardcore all went to jail not too long for producing pornography that was ruled obscene. Fucking jail for making movies! Along with John Buttman Stagliano that spent millions to fight his obscenity case last summer.
By allowing the US Govt that despises the porno business, to legitimize it and give absolute power to one company, free from future prosectutions, doesnt make sense. Cant see majority of United States Congress voting in favor of this.
And with the pro .XXX lobby, that are trying to get us to believe, that .XXX is a safe insurance policy, and in our best interest to buy these domains, are just trying to mind fuck us into supporting our own demise.
Naw, think its just best to pass on .XXX altogether.
