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.

I understand where you are coming from, but the reality is the way internet grows daily that at some point dot com isn't going to be enough and it is the natural evolution. So being pissed at dot xxx seems futile. What about dot cc which for years has been marketed as a dot com alternative rather then represent the Coco islands or whatever country code it is.
