I'd like to have that on record.
Not singling you out, I'd like to see many adult related businesses address whether they will reject any .xxx related business or not.
Brad 05-07-2011, 08:16 PM "I'm never anything but honest. I found out a week ago that a few .XXX domains already resolve to my IP space from a different, unrelated but observant client. I'm not happy that the TLD exists due to what we can imagine to be various far-reaching implications. With that said, as a host and ISP I have a legal set of obligations and fiduciary responsibility to our customers. If I deviate from those, we can neither protect ourselves or our customers from various different liabilities. We don't get paid by the domain, we refer out as a white label at cost plus less than $1 for other TLD registrations for client convenience. Hosting is not like being a biller, pay site, free site, advertising agency, etc. We have to play by a finite set of rules just like Comcast, Level3, Akamai, etc. Exercising personal judgement about something of this nature which does not knowingly involve violation of copyright, trademark, obscenity or unsolicited e-mail would expose us to specific liability so far reaching that we would have an inability to also protect every other customer on an array of issues unrelated and outside of .XXX.
Before the pundits of GFY decide to misread my post and falsely determine that my answer is either related to a financial motivation or something else libelous.. I encourage them to become familiar with the DMCA. Also, to look and see what their own host public statement is.. or all the other companies who actually have a choice.
One more thought for tonight before I put a movie on with Melissa. If you were either one of a 9 year customer or a new customer of my company with anywhere the range of 1 to 1000 .COMs (etc) and YOU decided to buy a .XXX domain to protect a trademark or brand. Or, maybe you buy some key word phrase for a new idea that isn't well represented in any other TLD.. Would it not be a total inconvenience to have to find hosting elsewhere - just one more damn expense versus free? If you put yourself in those shoes or if you are one of those old-timers that I host, you can see that you will continue to be in good hands".
Your words Brad. Right up your ass!
