from www.domainnamewire.com – In a letter to ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom, Diane Duke [pictured] of the adult industry trade association Free Speech Coalition asks ICANN to reject ICM Registry’s plans for a .xxx top level domain name.

Much of the adult industry opposed .xxx after governments started getting involved. Governments suggested that perhaps they could force all adult web sites to use the .xxx top level domain, moving them away from .com. That would, of course, be detrimental to the online adult entertainment business.

Dukes claims that ICM registry doesn’t have industry support, and so any claim by the registry that it is creating this TLD on behalf of the adult entertainment community is incorrect.

The religious right and porn stars don’t usually agree on something. But this is a case where they do.
