Does this mean porn will be on the Internet in future?

Sex sites won't be required to sign up for .xxx addresses.

Then they wont. Why would they do something that would make it easier to filter them out?

I have a techie question, I guess you would call it..from one who is a Tech Luddite assume ythere is a pron site.."sex.com"..you'd think the owners wouldn't what to give it up, and they aren't being forced to..but they would also probably want to register "sex.xxx" can the two sites be the same..parallel, I guess you'd say..with both linking to the same site?

Great.

Now every legitimate company will have to once again buy another license to redurect traffic (especially if it is generic).

Every time they do this they make it worse, not better. Almost no one exclusively uses the ".tv" domain -- there is almost always a corresponding ".com" address (although they ave to be creative sometimes).

Seems to me ICANN has given the porn sites an easy way to avoid further stigmatization.

It would be in the site's best interest to switch to the .xxx designation.

They can forward access requests to their .com address to their .xxx address. This should allow the filters to trap for the .xxx designation.

Pron sites should go ahead and take advantage of this.
