Nobody was interested in it. I'm glad they are wasting their money. The XXX boat was in Key West this past weekend and I took great pleasure in booing it as it passed by.

No need to pay the ICM Registry $300 to feed their war chest so they can later use that money to lobby to make the use of .xxx domains mandatory. Every dollar you pay the ICM is a dollar the ICM will later be able to use against you.

Either way, it's money that could have been spent elsewhere, on something that actually produces revenue or contributes to your professional brand building. Or lunch, for that matter. Or pretty much anything. Sure, you can pay $300 now or you can pay however much in legal fees it takes to defend your trademark.

It's actually a little more complicated and expensive than that, Ken, but, yes, that is the obvious option. Except when ICM then resells the same domain with your mark on it to another moron and you have to repeat the process again. and again. and again......

]]> Comment on Cats & Dogs Living Together without Benefit of Marriage! by Dashworlds.com http://dotxxxopposition.com/2011/04/02/cats-dogs-living-together-without-benefit-of-marriage/#comment-1489 Dashworlds.com Sun, 03 Apr 2011 11:31:58 +0000 http://dotxxxopposition.com/?p=535#comment-1489 The contentious XXX extension will have no affect on adult Dotcom websites; adult Dotcoms will remain unchanged. Furthermore, with so much adverse publicity - including threats by Governments to block XXX country by country - many will look to avoid the XXX webspace completely. For those compelled to reserve domains defensively, it's likely that anonymity will be required as names get set as Unresolvable and/or Unknown. The outcome? Perhaps a mass of "For Sale" signs by speculators looking to offload their XXX investments. All ICANN has done here is to openly advance fragmentation of the Web and encourage people to find new ways of making the most of their surfing experience. The result is that Internet users are now bypassing ICANN to create their own unique, memorable and personalised range of brand new Dashcom Domains and TLDs, totally free. Sites such as Dashworlds.com now provide brand new Dashcom (not Dotcom) domain names. Dashcoms are addresses in format "business-com", "paris-fashion", "high-heels" (and of course any XXX your heart might desire). Totally outside the realm and control of ICANN, Internet users can create any domain or TLD in any language, instantly and at no cost. With users and members in over 90 countries worldwide, resolution is via an APP; although new ISP Links are available to make this unnecessary (ISP Links that are also available to ICANN). Having just one Internet floating in infinite cyberspace is like saying you can go anywhere in the USA as long as you only use route 66. So now, just as in the USA (and everywhere else in the world) the Internet has more than one option.
