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.

I'm always open for arguments and I compliment you on your clear way of explaining things. Point taken :-)
I kept all my .com domains and if xxx isn't going to work for me, I'll do my things on .com and on .com too it's possible to setup a network of content producers who co-operate on keeping their sites free of content thieves.
By the way, did you read xxx-principles-of-free-expression.pdf ? The only kind of pornography they address in there regarding banning is cp.
