The denial of the creation of a .xxx TLD is a severe blow to the one policy that would get this problem somewhat under control; It would force others into compliance of a .xxx TLD regardless if they wanted it or not.

It sounds a lot to me like somebody has received a payoff to prevent the passage of this well needed piece of international legislation. What is the problem? Get this done!

Nobody is saying that smut does not have a home on the Net. It just says that I have a choice to not have it railroaded and force fed to my computer. If porn sniffers want porn, they will get it -- regardless if it is .xxx or not so don't hide behind that crutch of an excuse that it prevents or hinders business. I get spammed all day long for that garbage and I am not even looking for it.
