They disapprove anything new and strange, then once the new thing is taking off they start scratching their heads and when the new thing starts to grow big, they want to join it, and if they can't join it, they'll try to copy it. Most people in this biz are trying to copy others. So the ones who follow their own road buy xxx domains now and get spit on for that by the rest, but in a few months from now everybody will follow, and buy xxx domains as well.

This is bullshit. Let's see how you feel when some asshole comes to you and threatens you that if you don't buy your own domain (in .xxx) for x amount of dollars, they are going to sell it to a company in South Korea. Well, already happened to me, thanks.
Many very large Webmasters and Companies are already NOT supporting .xxx and I'm sure we're going to see plenty more to follow. .xxx is just going to be a ghetto for newbie webmasters and spammers that won't be able to get traffic because all the linklists and directories won't be listing .xxx domains. It's already happening.
You also got to love how they keep saying they are going to monitor domains, keep us free from piracy, and how they want to know 'what we are doing' with premium domains. I get it ... so if you want to register dick.xxx or sex.xxx they want to know what you're doing with it. If you want to register boykakke.xxx or straightrentboys.xxx (which infringes on an adult webmaster's copyrights) they don't give a flying fuck. How nice of them.
If I'm buying a domain name, it's none of the registrar's fucking business what I'm going to do with it as long as I'm not breaking copyright law or doing something illegal on it.
Go ahead and put your trust into .xxx. For all we know they could be devising ways right now on how to get the US government to force all adult sites onto .xxx and under their control. If that's the kind of environment you want to work in, go for it! I'm already making my 'Plan B' and believe me it's not going to be related to the porn business or working for Stuart Lawley.
