I won't be buying any domains and I hope every government blocks them just to piss off all those greedy fucks.

tabasco · 03-24-2011, 03:31 AM

Wouldn't surprise me if Australia do.. or at least try to.

Australia will ban it too, as well as many other countries. Good luck to those who already bought these useless domains

Yeah I expect Australia to ban it too.

kane · 03-24-2011, 04:29 AM

It would be pretty comical if so many countries around the globe banned them that nobody bought them all the millions spent and years invested turned out to be for nothing.

AtlantisCash · 03-24-2011, 04:32 AM

As i said at the other thread, didn't India already pass a law that there will be no more censorship unless the site against their national security?

DVTimes · 03-24-2011, 04:37 AM

i suspect many will have an opt in option.

it will be a case of asking your isp to unblock them or even have to pay a fee per month.

Emil · 03-24-2011, 04:38 AM

People who buy the xxx-domains are fucking retards.
It will be so easy to block this shit, you're putting yourself inside a trap.

AtlantisCash · 03-24-2011, 04:43 AM

"In response, a senior official at the ministry of IT stated that “India, along with many other countries from
the Middle East and Indonesia, opposed the grant of the domain in the first place, and we would proceed to block the whole domain, as it goes against the
IT Act and Indian laws.”"

many will buy on the basis of 'just in case'.

but at some point .xxx will be banned or have opt in system.

so even promoting .xxx sites is pointless.

Very true...

DWB · 03-24-2011, 05:12 AM

You can count on MANY Asian countries blocking .xxx. The good news is, we can't bill most of them.

The bad news is, it won't stop with Asian countries.

247mg · 03-24-2011, 05:27 AM

why people than have to register .xxx domain if every country block these

i don't think they will directly move on adult sites, they just signalling their stupid conservative voters that they care their nation's girls won't become pornstars, then those girls and guys move to Western countries to become one ;)

Is there anybody who did not think this would happen?

signupdamnit · 03-24-2011, 06:54 AM

India seems to be incredibly strict. I believe all films must have government approval and show that they have approval at the start by showing a license. I don't recall ever seeing a legitimate Indian film which I would rate as anything beyond "PG-13".

great news...
as more countries block the .xxx
the more useless it is!

V_RocKs · 03-24-2011, 07:58 AM

Of course if the USA doesn't block it then 85% of buying consumers will still be flocking to them.

Not to mention the bandwidth overhead will be greatly diminished allowing for more profitability.

Rochard · 03-24-2011, 08:09 AM

I hope all countries block it!

Tom_PM · 03-24-2011, 08:14 AM

I think Conan did the right joke about it the other night.

.XXX was approved... FINALLY a home for porn on the internet (laughter)

u-Bob · 03-24-2011, 08:20 AM

that was to be expected....

Fabien · 03-24-2011, 08:21 AM

Now let's hope that the brilliant govs (yeah right) all around the world, won't force everyone to have anything porn related under .xxx domains only.

Looks like we won round one tho but trust me, keep on eye this bullshit. This is serious stuff !

Kelli58 · 03-24-2011, 08:23 AM

Actually V_Rocks makes a good point. The counties banning the .xxx right now are those we don't really tend to attempt to market to in the first place. At least not the mainstream porn sites.

How many sites really target Indian or Middle Eastern traffic? I know I don't. I'm not in support of .xxx but really this isn't that big of an obstacle for the new top-level domain because it just means you got rid of a bunch of free loaders you couldn't convert anyway.

sweet news.....hope all countries block .xxx and it becomes history of .xxx

247mg · 03-24-2011, 09:37 AM

India seems to be strict where? first they should stop prostitution in India where a prostitute is available to even 12 - 14 year old boys who even didnt reach his adultry.

Banning .xxx doesnt make any sense bcz indian are too bold enough to show their sex to public now.

Well, I didn't think there was any chance at this point to stop fucking Lawley, but this could be a chance. No one cares about india traffic anyway, and they would probably be doing us a favor blocking it, but if other "good" countries would catch on and enough of them do it, they would devalue the domain enough that no one would register it. I just don't think that is likely though. And they would need to do it quick before the flood gates start opening.

Hotrocket · 03-24-2011, 09:42 AM

Patience, people patience...this is just the beginning of the natural course of events that many of us predicted.
We don't have to worry about entire countries blocking the TLD, it will happen at many different levels, ISP's , universities, businesses, hotels, wifi hubs, etc.

PR_Dave · 03-24-2011, 09:48 AM

India is a huge potential market for porn. I was just there and they are porn hungry and millions of Indians can afford memberships etc.

Even traffic that can't be converted has value, particularly for free sites.

If you don't agree with me on that point, that's fine; I have my reasons for believing it, and they are rooted in nearly 15 years of working with adult website traffic of varying degrees of quality. In that time, I have never found a type of traffic that I couldn't draw some manner of benefit from (yes, even bot traffic, as odd as that might sound).

Look at it this way: when listing the benefits of .XXX, the ease of blocking/filtering it is actually stated as a 'plus' by ICM Registry.

That might sound good to some people at first glance, but think about it a little further, and put that notion in the context of what the Internet itself is supposed to be, and you might conclude that it isn't such a good thing, after all.

Set aside for a moment whether easy blocking/filtering might be perceived as a benefit by parents who want to keep their kids from watching porn, or by consumers who don't approve of porn at all and will take what they can get in terms of restrictions on porn distribution, and consider that at its core, the whole point of the 'world wide web' is to provide global access to content and information.

Some of what's out there on the web is good content/information, some of it is bad content/information, some of it is downright harmful content/information, but the 'web default' has always been to provide access to, and a free exchange of, ideas, expression and information.

When a website or piece of online information or content is illegal, damaging, or otherwise problematic, it might end up being pulled down from the web, or blocked on an individual basis, but attempts to prevent such things from being accessed online in the first place have never included wholesale blocking and filtering of entire TLDs. Not even places like China, Saudi Arabia or North Korea block entire TLDs, so far as I'm aware (if I'm wrong, please do correct me on that; maybe they do block some entire country code TLDs?).

Given that, why on earth would I think of the ease of blocking an entire TLD as being among the "good" reasons to pay roughly 6x market price per domain on I register on the TLD in question?

I can't speak for anybody else, but from my perspective, coughing up more money for domains that by their very nature are likely to receive less traffic and exposure (and serve to splinter my branding at the same time, no less) is not what I'd call a sensible basis for purchase.

You hit the nail right on the head. You are exactly correct, this is how it will happen.

Bad news?

If a few countries with decent conversions choose to ban .xxx in the near future . . . that just might head off Lawley's gold rush before it happens.

What could possibly be bad about that?

Probably won't play out quite that neatly but hey, we can all hope.

Relentless · 03-24-2011, 10:29 AM

The budget needed to persuade India to allow .xxx will be infinitely more than the amount needed to persuade ICANN. Countries blocking the entire TLD is also a good sign of the way search engines are likely to handle .xxx domains. It would not shock me at all if Google and others eventually decide to default searches without .xxx results and require users to turn them 'on' in order to see them at all.

AzteK · 03-24-2011, 10:34 AM

You make it sound like a bad thing. Fuck traffic from India, China or anything a like.
