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.

Let's say you pay for an account at netfirms and get a subdomain: SomeCompany.netfirms.com. And you set up a site pretending to be SomeCompany. And that SomeCompany finds out and contacts Netfirms, guess what will happen. Netfirms will be smart enough to shut down your site.
The ICM is just like Netfirms. They both sell subdomains. Netfirms sells them under their domain, netfirms.com. The ICM Registry sells them under their top level domain, .xxx.

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.

I know and I'm looking forward to the arrival of .sex, .porn etc because the existence of those tld's will make it almost impossible for the ICM Registry to lobby to make .xxx mandatory.
Until then I'll keep expressing my anti-.xxx point of view in every thread about the ICM Registry because the ICM Registry has already shown that they'll (ab)use anything that isn't totally against them as a sign of support.
