Later they changed their mind and used the defensive pre-orders as proof of support. What is stopping a company that has already lied in the past from doing the same thing again? What is stopping ICM Registry from changing the rules once again? What is stopping them from forcing their own payment system onto .xxx domain owners? I am sure they will come up with a nice excuse such as "our payment system is better at protecting the children".

What I don't understand about arguments such as this, is .com and other tlds have restrictions, and rules, as well. We've already seen the justice department confiscate domains, and even servers for that matter. With the new bills that are going to be hitting congress, we have no idea how .com will change. If we post a video of girl dancing to some background music, will they take our .com? What future bills will hit congress and effect the way we operate .coms? At this point, .xxx is at the very least looking like a safe bet against any .com changes that may come.
