Businesses Buy .XXX Porn Domains to Protect Trademarks
 
http://www.pcworld.com/article/23737...dema rks.html

Four out of five businesses that have preregistered .XXX domain names have no direct connection to the adult porn industry, one of the UK's largest registrars has confirmed.

"As we expected, the early indications are that non-adult industry businesses have realized the need to protect trademarks and brands in dot XXX," said Easyspace's managing director, Sarah Haran.

"To increase your chance of securing .XXX it's important to preorder your preferred domain before General Availability begins," she said.

As I recall, dot xxx had to be active and porn related. I guess money talk...again...

$200 year registration exclusion or $10s of thousands in legal expense of cybersquatters?

This is simple monetary decision, $200 ain't shit to major corporations and there is no "ethical position" involved in this...

Don't bother replying "what if they have to 'protect 100 names' ..." $20K is just an inconvenience to them. Cost of doing business ... One membership at the country club ...
