I'm an adult entertainment industry webmaster opposing .XXX

["Joe Greenwald" <geedub@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To Whom It May Concern;

    I am a simple adult entertainment webmaster, with the main amount of my 
traffic on only three domains. However, even a small fish in the sea of this 
industry, I own quite a few domains and they all have stuff on them. Currently 
the price for a .com domain name costs me anywhere from 10 - 14 dollars to 
register for a year. Now, you guys force everyone with adult entertainment 
websites to change to .XXX domain names at 60 dollars each, I'm going to need 
to scramble to register all of my domains before they are stolen from me at six 
times the cost. Even a no body like me has competition, good domain names, and 
other people would like to have them. So if this goes through one day I'm 
either going to need to dump out several hundred dollars to get all of my 
domains back and try and to keep my traffic, or just say screw it and quit what 
I've been trying so hard to succeed at for the past two years? The ball is 
rolling for me and all you're going to do is try and stop it for no logical 
reasons. All .XXX would do for anyone in a gigantic industry is hurt. It would 
make the US Government able to to enact a filter so all ISP's have to block 
.XXX domains, thus shutting down for the most part a $12 billion a year 
industry. From a nation with trillions in debt, why kill one of the best online 
industries, especially after shutting down gambling? It just doesn't make 
sense, not to me, and not to many others in this line of work. In another 
sense, I don't believe that .XXX will have any effect on stopping children from 
seeing things that are innapproriate for them. How long will it be until 
everyone knows about .XXX and especially kids?? In most cases, the children in 
families are far better at using their computers than their parents so what 
good is any sort of filtering if the parents probably can't figure it out in 
the first place? All in all, the big guns in the industry I choose to work in 
will more than likely pull through, but think about the hundreds of thousands 
just like me, who won't even stand a fighting chance.
