Interesting article : http://domainnamewire.com/2011/12/02...-domain-names/
Quote:
Manwin runs Playboy sites as a licensee and says it gets 60 million daily visitors across its network of sites.
I find it surprising that Manwin is just now making a full force attack on .xxx. The only real coordinated opposition to the domain as it worked its way through the last legs of the ICANN process was a poorly represented Free Speech Coalition (FSC). I bet they?re wondering where the heck Manwin was through all that.

To which a commentator replies :
Quote:
I can tell you exactly where Manwin was. When Diane Duke, the Executive Director of the Free Speech Coalition, was standing in front of the ICANN board of directors in San Fransisco voicing the industy?s opposition, standing directly next to her was Manwin?s in-house Chief Counsel. Check out the video.
Moreover, FSC did not begin fighting this during the last round. The first time Duke testified was in Lisbon in 2006, and she lobbied at every single ICANN meeting after that. Check out the transcripts.
Finally, the implications of this are enormous. Manwin sites get 60 MILLION visitors per day. Manwin is the world?s largest adult content producer. And, Manwin controls 80% of adult ad space. The value of any .xxx domain just took a nose dive.
