From that standpoint, I'm sorry I didn't think of the idea myself and figure out how to get a cut off every one of the registrations. When .xxx becomes a fact, what registrars will handle it? The same ones that handle .com, .net, .biz, etc? If so, I guess quite a few people stand to make some money on it.

To the industry, it's a fucking joke. Child pornographers don't care about .xxx, they don't care about .com, they don't care about anything. The vast majority of them aren't in the US would be my guess.

The government is going to do everything it can in the next few years to cripple this industry. I think that so many people's time could be so much better spent figuring out how to keep their legs under them than bickering with every other segment of this industry.

I'd use my herding cats statement but that one's been appropriated over the years by so many other people I don't like the taste of it in my mouth any more.
I agree with most of what you said but to just let off the people that helped this process go forward and endorse it for money. This will ruin careers of hard working good people who make a ok living in adult is not acceptable. This also effects consultants as website owners as well.
