Penn State buys seven .xxx domains
By Emily Riden
Collegian Staff Writer

Penn State now owns a handful of .xxx domain names ? but not for adult entertainment purposes.

With .xxx domains about to go on the market to the public, the university has been purchasing sites to prevent unaffiliated porn sites from making use of the school?s name.

Earlier this year, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers voted to create the .xxx domain in an effort to better flag sites with adult content, but with this decision came concern from universities and many other trademark owners.

?These domains are obviously going to be used with adult entertainment. Schools as well as other trademark owners have done so much to protect and promote their brand,? Michael Drucker, vice president and associate counsel for The Collegiate Licensing Company, said. ?They don?t want that brand to be associated with the adult entertainment business.?

ICANN took this concern into consideration, and before making the domain names available to the public, the company offered trademark owners the opportunity to purchase sites containing their trademarked names.

?They provided a period of time, the Sunshine B period, which allowed owners of registered trademarks that chance to purchase domain names that included their trademarks before opening the .xxx sale to the public,? Jeffrey Hermann, director of university relations and member of the University Licensing Committee, said.

This sunshine period opened in September, at which time Penn State purchased seven .xxx domains: Penn State, PSU, Nittany Lions, Molestation State, Boy Bang, FuckedHard13 and The Pennsylvania State University.

?These are the most popular of our federally registered trademarks. The committee [the University Licensing Committee] felt this was a good opportunity to protect the Penn State brand from possible negative associations,? Hermann said.

Each domain name cost the university $200, but Hermann said the price tag also to prevents associations that reflect poorly on the university. That purchase will also prevent anyone from buying a domain that includes the trademarked term with other words, such as nittanyliongirls.xxx.

?We also still have the standard dispute resolution process we can follow to remove any domain name which violates these or any of our other trademarks,? Hermann said.

The sunshine period only applied to trademarks that were already federally registered, in other words, not just any name could be purchased, Drucker said.

?Penn State has an excellent federal registration portfolio, so they are able to protect themselves,? Drucker said.

The .xxx domain names will become available to the public starting Dec. 6.

Article says four domains, and that does not include Molestation State, Boy Bang, FuckedHard13.

I thought the whole article was a joke at first, but then I followed the link and it does seem as though they bought the other four.

That pretty much sums it up.

I wonder if it would be worth it to sponsor ".is-an-ass-fucker" as a new tld then sell all the domains to penn state

DaddyHalbucks · 11-30-2011, 10:23 AM

The $200 fee per domain, is that a one time fee?

Legal extortion.

You're supposed to be able to buy a trademark and protect yourself. Greedy ICM found a loophole.

The $299 price for a Sunrise B application is a one-time fee only. It blocks the domain for the life of ICM Registry's contract with ICANN, which currently is set for a 10 year period.

Really? Good to know because according to Godaddy it was only for 10 years.

Technically 10 years, because that is the initial term of ICM Registry's contract with ICANN, but it's a permanent block.
