.xxx is a SCAM!!! WE ARE OPPOSED TO .XXX

["Mike Murray" <mwmurray@xxxxxxx>]

To whom it may concern:

 

 

First and foremost, I would like to state we are opposed to the proposal of the 
TLD .xxx. As a member of the adult webmaster industry since 2003, I have no 
interest in agreeing with or using the .xxx TLD at the hands of greedy 
individuals with no remorse for such a bogus campaign.   

 

This .xxx in "NO WAY" will protect children from accessing porn. In reality, it 
will provide a RED LIGHT DISTRICT for "OUR/MY" children to have extremely easy 
access to porn and more porn sites than they did in the past. The TLD .xxx will 
only make it easier for children to access adult material illegally, just as 
they have done with the .com TLD's.

The answer to stopping children accessing online adult material would be to 
implement a .kids TLD.

 

Myself as a parent, I implement security settings and we do monitor what our 
children do when they are on the internet. I suggest we educate the parents of 
the world and hold them responsible for their children accessing porn. It is 
time for parents to take some responsibility, pay attention to what their 
children are doing, instead of tuning them out because of a hard day at work. 

 

There are many ways to protect children from accessing adult

Material on the Internet and .xxx is "NOT" the way. The responsibility lies 
with the parents AND the adult community, but not solely on the adult 
community. 

There are many filtering programs that can achieve this. We take it upon 
ourselves to use IRCA and such tagging programs to do our best to keep children 
off of our sites. It does not matter how much we implement tagging systems, if 
the parents don't take such action, then the system will not work.

 

This whole .xxx, once again is being served to us like a bad plate of food, by 
(Stuart Lawley/ Jason Hendeles with their Band of Merry men) 



This self serving group have "NO" concern what so ever about protecting 
children, but rather to feed their self serving greedy monetary needs. If this 
was not about the "MONEY" why do you think ICM is pushing this down our throats 
with such vigor? Why is the price of this TLD excessive to say the least, why 
you ask, because these individuals (Stuart Lawlay, Jason Hendeles and their 
band of merry men) have chose an industry where they know they can bilk 
webmasters for millions of dollars? If this self serving (Stuart Lawley/ Jason 
Hendeles and their band of merry men) wants to do something about protecting 
children the they should consider starting with the TLD .kids, but that would 
not be lucrative enough for ICM. They have their eyes set on the "MONEY POT" 
and not on the welfare of the children of the world.

 

1.) Stuart Lawley, Jason Hendeles are using innocent children as a platform to 
spew their deceitful scam from a pulpit ICANN keeps providing and it is all 
about the "MONEY", plain and simple.

These actions are deplorable and shameful to say the least. 

.XXX is not the answer

 

2.) Implementing this .xxx will not only hurt children even more, but will also 
have a devastating affect on the adult industry small business owner. I am one 
of them. We have worked hard to get our business established and to start 
making some money. This will all go down the toilet if we are pushed out of our 
.com's and forced into the .xxx TLD while Stuart Lawley, Jason Hendeles are 
stuffing their pockets with hard earned money that we have earned. 

Stuart Lawley/ Jasin Hendales are monetarily raping us with shameful acts while 
covering it up with acts of deceit.

.XXX is not the answer

 

 

3.) This .xxx approach is "SPECULATION" at its best. This is not proven it will 
work and has been voiced over and over why it won't work. How many times does 
ICM AND ICANN have to be told we don't want .xxx? I guess all they hear is they 
change dropping in both of their bank accounts. 

I am offended that ICANN would put all of our businesses on the line with a 
speculative proposal from a person that "USES CHILDREN" as a platform for 
keeping children safe. This is a crime in itself and a very shameful act to say 
the least. I will even go as far as to say it is a violation of mine and others 
rights

.XXX is not the answer

 

 

4.) Why cant ICM and ICANN understand that the online industry and our company 
Laughing Loon Productions, L.L.C. does not, nor will we ever support .xxx!

.XXX is not the answer

 

In the end if this .xxx is passed it will have great devastation on the 
industry as a whole? It will purposely put hard working tax paying individuals 
possibly out of business or  

It could mean that you will voluntarily tax yourself by buying the .xxx domain, 
both of which are a losing situation and (Stuart Lawley/ Jason Hendeles with 
their Band of Merry men) will have succeeded in spitting in the face of the 
rights of each and every hard working business person, the children of the 
world and our first amendment rights.

 

5.) As a result of being pushed into the corner and feeling as though many 
rights are being or may be violated, I am going to take further initiative and 
CC my letter to the following list of agencies or any other we can locate.

 

A.)Senators and Representatives across this country. 

B.)The Department of Justice. 

C.)The Department of Commerce. 

D.) Law enforcement and government agencies to seek a federal Court TRO against 
the ICANN decision while insisting upon the conduct of a full and complete 
Governmental investigation to insure that no 
criminal/conspiratorial/RICO/IRS/etc regulations or laws have been assailed by 
ICM or anyone else involved.

E.) The White House

F.) http://www.frc.com

 

 

I must admit, it is a very sad day that it has come to this. In my opinion we 
want to be sure this receives good thought and concern for the children AND 
every business person in this industry. I don't think we will get a fare shake 
with the dealings between ICM and ICANN. Hopefully I am wrong. I am not willing 
to sit back and wait for these two organizations to strip my lively hood away 
from me, thus the reason to push forward to get the authorities involved.

 

We respectfully request that you turn down the .xxx TLD and tell (Stuart 
Lawley, Jason Hendeles And their band of merry men) TO HIT THE ROAD AND DON'T 
LOOK BACK!!!

.XXX is not the answer

 

Sincerely
