While the article pointed out the opposition to this by conservative politicians and religious leaders, it failed to point out this domain was also vigorously opposed by the vaste majority of the online adult industry.

Stuart Lawley and ICM Registry tried for years to get anyone in the adult industry to support his bid. No one would. Everyone realized this was nothing but a naked grab for money. Look at his proposed price, $75US. When you can get almost any other domain for under $10. Where do you think the difference will go? Right into Lawley's pocket.

As for somehow helping keep kids from seeing adult material (which is afterall legal for adults to view), how about ICANN do something that will help, approve a dot Kids domain.
