Generic porn terms may not carry the same weight in the .XXX sTLD. Consider the guy with a TM for 'XXX' for example. Like I said, generics are a little different.

What is it that you don't get about my english? I thought I was pretty good at it. Guess not. Phrases like "either it can be successfully argued or it can't" and so on seemed to be clear to me as I typed them.
I was addressing your wrong notion of the "value" of an infringing domain as being relevant in a trademark infringement lawsuit. It's not relevant at all. The value of the mark itself is relevant and either the domain is found to be infringing or its not.
Furthermore, a civil suit for trademark infringement has NOTHING to do with the WIPO.
I wasn't saying anything at all about RARE cases of generics. Last i checked, Manwin doesn't own porn.com, sex.com, xxx.com etc. Not even sure why you think I am talking about that when I clearly am not and continue to say i'm not... I am talking about Manwin simply protecting their marks.
