Pros & Cons of .xxx for your next Domain
Lately there has been a lot of controversy in designating .xxx as a top domain level for the adult industry. I'm sure that a lot of people would think it is a great thing to acknowledge the adult industry as a power house. I personally am still trying to figure out what those benefits would be, but I'm drawing a blank.
Below is an article from Diane Duke the Free Speech Coalition Executive Director as it appeared on their site.
If you are as involved as I am, please let me know your thoughts on this issue.
Dear Free Speech Coalition Supporters,
Most likely you are aware of, and gravely concerned about, the renewed interest in creating a .XXX TDL. Last May, FSC successfully opposed an attempt by Stuart Lawley, and his company ICM, to have .XXX accepted and implemented by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Mr. Lawley and his company stand to make millions from this deal—at the expense of the adult entertainment industry.
.XXX is a very bad idea because:
• It “ghettoizes” the industry, making adult entertainment an easy target for anti-industry extremists and government intrusion.
• It will add, unnecessarily, to the cost of doing business. At $60 per URL per year, the cost to a member could reach tens of thousands of dollars annually. Many in the adult entertainment industry will purchase and park addresses, realizing no benefit to this added expense. Finally, there will be countless battles for names, and the resulting arbitration will be costly.
• If a .XXX domain becomes available, it is likely that the United States and other countries will try to make it mandatory and subject to trans-Internet filtering that could effectively eliminate much of the adult content currently available on the Web.
• The .XXX option could enable the industry’s enemies to convert even a voluntary .XXX domain use into an effectively mandatory requirement by pressuring private parties, such as credit card processors, to require .XXX use and compliance. In this way, ICM through unchecked rule-making could “back door” all the governmental regulations that we have beaten back. If that happens the industry would not have its most potent weapon, the First Amendment to challenge ICM because ICM is not a governmental entity.
• The ambiguity with which ICM plans to establish its governing board is of grave concern as there exists strong potential for censorship, which is clearly not in the best interest of the industry or for ICANN.
At ICANN’s last meeting, a number of board members expressed concern that .XXX did not the have support of the adult entertainment industry, this after public input submitted prior to that meeting and word of a contentious panel discussion which included Lawley at an XBIZ conference. Previously, the board relied solely on Lawley’s assurance that he had the industry’s support.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
1. It is imperative that ICANN hear from the industry in a BIG way! Please send an e-mail to ICANN and simply state “I am in the adult entertainment industry and I oppose .XXX”. If you are a webmaster, state that you are a webmaster in your e-mail as well as how many websites you manage.
E-mail your comments to: xxx-icm-agreement@icann.org.
Public comments can be viewed at: http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-icm-agreement/. Comments received on or before March 9, 2007 will be considered at the next scheduled Special Meeting of the ICANN Board.
2. FSC plans to send Executive Director Diane Duke and Board Chair Jeffrey Douglas to the next ICANN meeting in Lisbon, Portugal during the last week of March to ensure that the adult entertainment industry is represented. In order to help cover our costs in fighting this .XXX battle, we ask our members to contribute $60—the cost of the URL of one website for one year—to the Free Speech Coalition. Checks can be sent to the Free Speech Coalition PO Box 10480 Canoga Park, CA 91309. If you prefer to put your donation on a credit card,
contact Diane Duke at (818) 304-1712.
During February’s XBIZ Conference panel discussion, Stuart Lawley said, “I have never, nor will I ever be, a part of the adult entertainment industry.” Together, we will make sure that Stuart Lawley does not line his pockets—at our expense. Time is of the essence, please, contact ICANN with your statement in opposition to .XXX and send your donation to the Free Speech Coalition today.
Sincerely,
Diane Duke
Free Speech Coalition Executive Director

A Quiet 2007 For 2257 -- So Far by Q. Boyer
WASHINGTON, DC -- Judged against the full history of the record-keeping requirements commonly referred to within the adult industry as “2257,” 2006 was doubtlessly the legislation’s most active year to date.
By comparison, 2007 has proven to be "all quiet on the 2257 front," so to speak and so far.
There have been no significant developments in the case Free Speech Coalition v. Gonzales, the FSC legal challenge to the 2257 regulatory scheme. Diane Duke, Executive Director of the FSC today said that, so far as she is aware, the legal challenge is “still sitting there, waiting on the judge.”
Nor have there been any 2257 inspections reported thus far in 2007; setting aside the inspection of Sebastian Sloane Productions (which was pursued in connection to a search warrant, and not a "pure" 2257 inspection), there were eight such inspections in 2006.
Last year also saw the first penalties for violations of 2257 handed down, following a guilty plea by Mantra Films (better known by the brand name Girls Gone Wild) admitting violations of 2257 record keeping regulations. Mantra as a company was fined $2.1 million, $500,000 of which owner Joe Francis was ordered to pay personally, stemming from his own plea agreement.
Thus far this year, the only known event of significance related to 2257 has been the appearance by Special Agent Chuck Joyner of the FBI at the Xbiz Hollywood conference in February.
Joyner’s presentation and his subsequent participation in a question and answer period were both significant and unprecedented events, to be sure. Even that appearance, however, stemmed from a meeting between representatives of the adult industry and the FBI that took place late last year.
Of course, it is always possible that inspections have taken place this year and simply have not been reported publicly. Arguably the wisest move for any producer who gets inspected is to not discuss their inspection with anyone beyond their legal counsel and the FBI agents conducting the inspection, at least pending resolution of the inspection.
There’s little doubt that significant developments with respect to 2257 are still in store this year – it’s just a little surprising there hasn’t seen more movement, already.
So, the (by now, quite familiar) question for 2257 remains; what’s next, and when is it coming?

AFF GEN. COUNSEL MEETS WITH FBI TO EASE 2257 INSPECTIONS FOR THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
WASHINGTON, D.C. In another breakthrough for dealing with federal officials, Atty. Paul Cambria Thursday met with FBI representatives to “open a better dialogue between authorities and the adult entertainment industry.”
“We met with a number of FBI agents in charge of the 2257 inspection process. They explained the inspection process to us and attempted to have a dialogue which would result in an easier inspection process,” said Cambria, AFF general counsel.
“We have a clearer understanding now of their procedures and I think that we have opened up a channel of communication to try and make the inspection process a more productive and less onerous one from the standpoint of the adult industry,” Cambria explained.
“It was a positive meeting. We clarified some areas that we thought were grey areas,” Cambria concluded.
Over the summer, the FBI began making unannounced visits to adult production companies to inspect 2257 records. Under the 2257 section of the U.S. Code, the producers of books, magazines, video or films are required to keep records of anyone performing sexually explicit acts after July 3,1995. The records should include name, dob and proof of that information along with any stage names.
In an earlier breakthrough for the Adult Freedom Foundation, Cambria was the first and only representative of the adult entertainment industry invited to testify before the U.S. Senate’s Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing on “Protecting Children on the Internet.”
The hearing was held Jan. 19, 2006, and Cambria was later requested to provide supplemental testimony to his live appearance.
Industry attorneys Jeffrey Douglas and Greg Piccionelli also attended Thursday’s meeting at FBI Headquarters in Washington.
