<<< Moving pornography to its one TLD is not a goal that can be accomplished all
in one step. I think it is a worthy goal but cannot sanction the idea of establishing
it on Monday and decreeing that everyone must be off .com by Friday.
>>>>As someone said already (410, I believe). . .
Define "pornography." Define
it in such a way that ensures that we all agree on its distinctiveness from art.
And
how will will comb the entire internet for it?
Is not pornographic writing, pornography?
How do we scan the Internet from THAT form of porn?
The Internet is fluid, ever
changing. We have to define porn in a quantifiable way, accounting for all manifestations
of it; we have to scan the entire Internet for porn today, and again tomorrow--because
there are millions of registered domains, all changing content.
Furthermore, is
not pornography commerce? .com is slated for commerce, so you would be discriminating
against owners of pornographic sites.
It is easier to block porn sites that exist
than it is to police the entire Internet every moment for occurrences.
Likewise,
how do you ensure that the "adult-only" TLD is not inhabited by non-porn sites? Afterall,
Internet space is at a premium. If I could get my hands on Business.sex, I would
likely put a non-sex-related site on it, simply because of the traffic it would get.
Would I be ousted by ICANN or whomever for NOT displaying sex in a sex-slated TLD?
<<
The last step is to open it up to anyone who wants an available name. >>>
This
quote refers to the .com domain that is left emptied, after the domain owner has
his site transfered to the adult-only TLD.
I wonder what non-sex site you can envision
setting itself up on Blowjob.com or AssShots.com. Have you reeeeally thought your
plan out carefully?
<<< There should be no policing of the domains by the internet
community. If the US wants to prohibit companies from exhibiting pornography
outside the adult TLD then the US government is free to pass and enforce such laws.
>>>>
You say this with such laxness. Personally, I don't want my government to
tell me that pictures of naked people are illegal.
Do you?
