.XXX scumbaggery begins with choosing offshore rinky dink registrar in Germany as it's registrar
 

interesting how none of the big registrars are involved. scary as a domain consumer to give your CC info to just anyone on the internet. i guess if you want to control the money you have to control the registrar. no way moniker or go daddy or any of the credible registrars would let them play any games.


why else would you want a small, nobody registrar that no one knows?


Key-Systems Appointed as .XXX Registrar

Leesburg, VA-- Key-Systems, a German based domain registrar with offices in the US and Mexico, has been appointed as one of the first .XXX registrars worldwide.

Initially in March 2011, the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) authorized .XXX as a sponsored top-level domain and its operation by ICM Registry. The .XXX launch will start late summer and is divided into three phases: a Sunrise, a Landrush and the final General Availability.

Key-Systems is already offering pre-registration for all launch phases on its three domain portals. These are domaindiscount24.com for end customers, RRPproxy.net for resellers, and BrandShelter.com for trademark owners. Brand owners from outside the Sponsored Community will have the opportunity to block names at the .XXX registry (ICM Registry), so that they cannot be used as conventional web addresses.

?We are delighted that Key Systems met our accreditation criteria, we consider them an important partner for us in the European marketplace,? said Russell S. King, COO of ICM Registry.

Key-Systems? CEO Alexander Siffrin added: ?It?s great to be part of the .XXX introduction. .XXX is a real multi-purpose domain extension: Not only the customers and providers of adult entertainment sites may benefit, but also those who prefer to avoid them.?

The .XXX Sunrise with the two tracks A & B will start late summer 2011. Track A is for members of the Sponsored Community with either trademark rights and/or prospective rights through pre-owned strings in other TLDs. Sunrise B aims at brand owners outside the Sponsored Community, who may reserve names and therefore opt their brands and IP out of the .XXX zone.

.XXX aims to protect consumers of adult entertainment sites from viruses, identity theft, credit card fraud and inadvertent exposure to child abuse images. At the same time the sTLD provides the opportunity to easily filter out unwanted .XXX material and attaches registrants to a set of practices to provide effective self-regulation of the adult industry. Furthermore, online adult entertainment providers receive more predictable revenue streams, greater customer retention and fewer complaints, as regulators and others will see their proactive and responsible approach to their web presence.

Interesting development :2 cents:

Key-Systems is a reasonable sized registrar I thought. I see them all over the place.

If you are non-EU citizen,then it is offshore :)

Germany's pretty hardcore on their internet XXX laws aren't they? Warning pages, etc..

yes.. they registrar for thepiratebay and ton of illegal site :1orglaugh you will have fun with them.

Apple is the most over-rated company in the history of business

Still, $153 billion is a lot :)

I've been with them for just over 5 years now and no problems so far :)

face to face age verification, no free hc content - that would also apply to any .xxx porn site run by a german company

actually chances are pretty good Germany might block .xxx as well since most sites on there will not comply with german laws. that would be fun

I wouldn't call them a "rinky dink" registrar, but a curious selection none the less. I'm sure this has been said before, but I found this part interesting, ".XXX aims to protect consumers of adult entertainment sites from viruses, identity theft, credit card fraud" Has anyone from .xxx spelled out exactly how they plan to protect consumers from credit card fraud happening on their extension?

Just what I was thinking.

they said they are creating their own processing solution.

their end game is to get every adult site pushed on to xxx and every adult transaction through them.

wonder how fsc will attempt capitalize on this :1orglaugh

Bunch of fags...

Isn't that like sacrilegious or something?

A company joining .XXX cause their sick of the piracy is the very same registrar for the pirates themselves.

There goes another one of ICM's sales pitch's down the toilet.

Damn, worse than I thought, wonder if ICANN was aware of their long term intentions when they approved .xxx.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...&aqi=&aql=&oq=

Shady, hadn't seen https://encrypted.google.com/webhp?hl=en before either.

i can't belive those assholes. fuck .xxx

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

2 please, with coke on the side:pimp

Great, more shady shit in adult internet. These fucking people have been screwing each other in the ass since the 90's, don't expect it to stop now!

So Stuart Lawley and his motley .xxx crew hops right into bed with a company that sanctions content thieving torrent sites...it figures. :disgust

ADG

They're both probably wearing women's underwear and stockings in this photo. :2 cents:

This is a take over. One step at a time.

They are slowly boiling frogs.

This is the .brand timeline from the same registrar, applications for .yourownbrand can be submitted soon:

this will not end well.

dot-xxx domains are a waste of money

Anywhere not in the US is offshore ..... except Hawai and Puerto Rico ... :1orglaugh

I think Network solutions is a registrar too, no?

.brand site

Press release about the creation of Central Registry Solutions by NetSol and CentralNic
http://about.networksolutions.com/si...try-solutions/

Anyone can start a .brand. We should start .gfy, it will be epic!

Yes. There's a handful of registrars announced now with more to follow.

the prices will come down. the nature of competition will force that.
i would bet netsol goes out somewhere near 120.00 a domain.

From dd24:

Sunrise Track B (Blocking):
378.15 EUR / 450.00 EUR incl. VAT one-time fee per domain

Facebook and everyone else "outside community" are forced to pay to get .xxx trademark names blocked from usage. That's their business :pimp

corky is that you?

is my bro... he runs network of sites from south america with jacked content.

How many times does it need to be said?

Money talks.
:pimp

is there an official sanctioned list of registrars yet? i only know of this one and net sol

Yes. Adult sites in Germany are to be protected with an age verification system (even the free tour).

Insel Mainau? :1orglaugh

That's going to be funny. Now the german government can finally enforce their ridiculous age verification procedures against any .XXX domain holder. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
