If you are a major player in this industry, will you register the .xxx equivalient to protect your brand and trademark? Yes? No? Why / Why not?
If you are an affiliate of either of the above, will you continue to promote that site? Why or why not?
If you do any kind of business at all with the above, will you continue to do business with them if they DO or DO NOT register a .xxx? Yes? No? Why / Why not?
In a discussion with friends tonight over dinner, it was generally agreed that porn will not be forced into the .xxx "ghetto" and that everyone will be able to keep their .com's. Do you agree? Do you think otherwise? If so, WHY or WHY NOT?
If you don't think that sites will be ghettoized, do you think that republicans like Michelle Bachman and her "I will ban all pornography" rhetoric will succeed at least far enough to ghettoize porn to the .XXX TLD?

Quick reply.
- Will I buy one? no. I'm not going to waste money and put more in Stuart's pocket.
- Will I do business with companies that do buy .xxx domains. Yes, most of the big ones will.
- It's not impossible that .xxx will be mandated and porn could be removed from .com's DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE. It's possible in the US, depends on who is in office and what their agenda it. Also, doesn't help that Staurt will be working the politicians to pass laws to make it mandatory just as hard as he worked ICANN for 10 years. Likely to happen, no. But not impossible.
