XXX and why it is a good thing

[Robert Smith <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After reading all of the postings I am surprised at some of the  
objections and how little grounding they have.  Porn sites don't need  
to lose their .com domain, they simply retire it.  Then its just a  
matter of re-pointing the IP to the new .XXX domain.  So any  
corporation that has built a brand will not lose any traffic  
therefore that argument just doesn't stand.  What you will then have  
is all law abiding porn sites with .XXX so that they can easily be  
identified.  This allows the large portals such as Google. MSN, Yahoo  
etc to filter these sites for the user, should they wish this.

XXX, creates the 'top shelf' for the Internet.

Porn is not going away, you cannot ban porn from the Internet, nor  
anything else for that matter.  What you can do is support an idea  
that helps keep porn away from minors.  Obviously, there maybe rogue  
operators in the Porn business who will ignore XXX and continue to  
entice any paying customer to their sites.  However, part of the  
proposal is to create a non-profit making organization made up of the  
Porn industry that will look at self legislation and the driving out  
of bandit sites.

XXX can only be a good thing.  How would we get on without Cinema  
Classification such as R ratings that help protect minors?   I don't  
see that XXX is any different.
