Powerful Lobby Group Calls for Federal Investigation of ICM Registry and All Involved in XXX Domain
 

News that the .XXX Domain is going live today caused Morality in Media to call for an investigation of ICM Registry, the company behind the .XXX Domain, for possible violations of federal laws prohibiting distribution of hard-core obscene Internet pornography.

"Title 18 United States Code Sections 1462 and 1465 prohibit distribution of hard-core, obscene Internet pornography. Yet, isn't that the purpose of the .XXX Domain?" asked Patrick A. Trueman, President of Morality in Media and former chief of the U.S. Department of Justice Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Criminal Division in Washington, D.C.

"Further, Title 18 U. S. C. Section 2 prohibits aiding and abetting a federal crime and Title 18 U. S.C. 371 prohibits a conspiracy to commit a federal crime. The U. S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, should review the activities of ICM Registry in relation to these federal criminal laws immediately," said Trueman.

"The establishment of a .XXX Domain will increase not decrease the spread of Internet pornography," said Trueman. "In fact, ICM has indicated that it has nearly one million 'expressions of interest' for new XXX sites. Yet not one porn company has announced plans to close its .com site to relocate to the XXX domain," Trueman said. "Porn on the Internet may double due to the XXXDomain," he added.

Internet pornography is causing a pandemic of harm such as addiction, divorce, and other grave social costs which are documented at www.PornHarms.com.

"Will Attorney General Holder stand by and watch this pandemic of harm continue to spiral when he has laws at his disposal that can be enforced against this destructive material? We take this opportunity to urge him to vigorously enforce federal obscenity laws against major online commercial distributors of hard-core adult pornography and those who aid and abet its distribution," said Trueman.

"If Attorney General Holder won't investigate ICM Registry now, we will press the next attorney general to do so," said Trueman. "This issue will never go away for ICM Registry or for Internet pornographers who attempt to hide their criminal activities behind the .XXX Domain."

I never thought I would be saying this but...GO JESUS FREAKS!

Yeah, let's make all porn be defined as obscene so they can stop .xxx. :helpme:helpme:helpme

Those beastie commercials are going to bite them in the ass.

I'd love for Lawley to explain that in congressional testimony.

I was going to say congress can pass a law but that doesn't mean the supreme court will uphold it. Then I thought about the supreme court we currently have.

I little late you think, this is just a statement making them look wholesome. This is already a done deal, might be restrictions added but it's not going anywhere.

in an age where stern and south park are mainstream entertainment does anyone really give a fuck? no.

Apparently people do...

who does. i have seen zero complaints about the ads anywhere.

if you are seeing the ads run on tv, and during what shows, then you know they dont give a rats ass about kids. thats all i need to say.

Good! I hope they all go to jail :thumbsup

The far right wing has been a weird anti .xxx ally from the start...
