Industry Insiders Speak for Dot-XXX; ICM Claims Victory

LAJ · 12-10-2010

YNOT – Two adult industry insiders spoke during a public forum Thursday, appearing to tell the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers that significant portions of the adult entertainment industry support dot-xxx and ICM Registry’s application to manage the domain space.

John Van Arnam, better known in the industry as Johnny V, is a 14-year veteran of the online adult segment and a frequent participant on educational panels at industry trade shows. He introduced himself as the owner of I-Bridge International and “the director of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection.” After stating for the record that he does not own adult websites or produce or distribute content, Van Arnam made an impassioned plea for the approval of dot-xxx as a means to protect children.

“I'm here to offer my support for dot-xxx and for ICM in their efforts to assist the industry to increase its reach in a thoughtful and child-protective manner,” Van Arnam said, according to the forum transcript. “I began working with ASACP because of a false perception that the depiction of the sexual exploitation of children and the online adult entertainment industry are somehow linked. They're not.

I guess Johnny V is the mystery ASACP advisory comittee.
Ties those fuckers directly to .XXX with Alec just like everyone has said all along.

Alec and ascp have a monetary interest in supporting .xxx they are bought and paid for by stuart lawley alec has always been stuarts bitch.

What i don't understand is this: Why hasn't anyone shown up with a .XXX proposal with $10 domains, none of the horseshit, and the wide backing of the online community?

The current .XXX situation will end up tied up in courts for years, requiring a "donation" to a group is a real stopper. Charging 7 times the going rate for a domain is insane.

This one gets approved, and I will be looking for the door, because the online industry will die.

Easy to understand actually. It has absolutely nothing to do with "child protection" or the good of the internet. It's just a business plan.

This is nothing but a money grab and good old fashioned shake down plan.

And it could very well work, and they know it, because no one has any sympathy for pornographers. And you cant get 2 of them together to agree upon anything let alone organize themselves.
