Like I've said in every .xxx thread before: I am against the .xxx tld.
1) They have no liability simply because they acknowledge that a domain registrar can facilitate the infringement on someones trademark

2) They put in place a system to a TM holders benefit - which is optional

3) They are not liable in any way shape or form for the actions of the domain registrant, for which domains are actually registered through them and how those domains are used.

4) There are no legal requirements for them to actively police domain registrants and the use of all domains registered through them to verify that such use does not violate any laws, anywhere, worldwide.

5) As far as i know, the only time they can get into trouble is when they are benefiting from TM domains by parking them, redirecting traffic etc where they are then benefiting monetarily from the infringing domain.


Not liking ICM Registry is not liking gravity. Its here. .xxx is here. It's a fact of life. In the future .sex, .love, .chat, .porn, .fuck etc etc etc etc etc will be here too. So what? Big fucking deal. Focus on making money.
