An international cross-section of the responsible online adult-entertainment industry has expressed its support for the new TLD and indicated its willingness to work through the International Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR), the Canadian non-profit, multi-stakeholder organization that is sponsoring the TLD to combat child pornography and to regularize business processes and to ensure that children and others who do not wish to access adult entertainment online can easily avoid it.
Great. It is voluntary now, but expect renewed efforts in Congress and certain of the states to require those with material "harmful to children" to register in the .xxx domain. Also, expect a rash of new trademark litigation, particularly with regards to dilution and tarnishment when the .xxx domain sale begins. And what is this about stopping child porn? How will a top level domain have any impact on that? via How Appealing
