XXX is illegal

Members of the Board

Hardcore pornography (or "obscene material" as it is called in U.S. law) on the 
Internet is ALREADY a violation of U.S law.  It is just not being prosecuted by 
the U.S. Department of Justice because those in charge are letting the public 
down.  So for those who argue that by establishing a new .XXX domain AND then 
passing by a new law requiring porn companies to move (IF such a law was upheld 
after years of litigation) we can solve our Internet porn problem, we must ask 
why these two events will suddenly compel the Department to begin prosecuting 
porn companies.  If the Department of Justice is not prosecuting Internet porn 
companies now for violating U.S. obscenity laws, it is not going to prosecute 
such companies for merely locating in the wrong address.

Please do not create a .XXX domain.

Sincerely,

Mike Barngrover
