I understand when dot xxx first came out some of the fears and anger it caused, but we are now just around the corner from seeing dot sex, dot porn, dot fuck, and thousands of other TLDs. So to me it just seems dot xxx was ahead of the curve in the TLD game.

a lot of lawyers and trademark experts are saying what a clusterfuck its going to be for trademark protection with all these new tld's. no matter what way you want to look at it, its going to cost money to protect a trademark. money that wouldn't of had to be spent if not for .xxx and the like. not to mention the smaller guys who don't have trademarks, pay up or shut up for them.
all of these new tld's are nothing more than a money grab for ICANN and the snakeoil salesmen behind the registries. the majority of domains bought will be trademark violations. how many millions of dollars will be need to be spent protecting trademarks across the globe because of it? its insane.
