Subject: .xxx Won't Work

Message:
 

 
       
      Hello Shawn,

      .Kid isn't on the block so their isn't anything to talk about.

      .XXX is fodder for conversation however.

      If .XXX would work I would support it in an instant.  Wouldn't it be nice to be able to block .XXX and have that take care of the problem.  It absolutely will not work however, for many reasons. 

      First off there is free speech.  People will argue, successfully, that sex.com is free speech.

      Second there is interpretation.  People will argue, probably successfully, that what they have to offer is "art".
  
      Third, there is stealth.  Ingenious webmasters will set up every kind of trap which will send a person straight to their .xxx and .com sex site.

      Fourth, there are foreign country re-directs which we cannot stop.

      And there is more.

      .XXX is merely subterfuge to make us THINK that we have done something positive in the battle against pornography, when in fact, we will have done nothing.

       Its sad.  I'm sad.  I'd like it to work; but it won't.

       .XXX is not the answer.  Putting people in jail, is.

       Best wishes, Eliahu
