The .xxx domains were released to auction today for purchase, but what is the point of them.
Any porn site using them is going to get blocked from half the globe, the major porn sites are not going to give up their .com address which is still the gold standard for web addresses.
It would make sense if legislation was bought in to force all porn sites to use the .xxx domain, so it was easily blocked and make it a lot easier for filters to prevent indecent images being seen by minors, but I can't see that happening.
A couple of the names wil have novelty value eg. sex.xxx, but is this really going to be any different to any of domain suffix?
