.xxx registry sues US government

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the start-your-moaning dept.

An anonymous reader writes in to say that "ICM Registry LLC, the company behind the proposed .xxx internet porn domain, is to sue two departments of the US government for access to documents it claims show the US pressured ICANN into rejecting the domain. The Florida-based startup will sue the Department of Commerce and the Department of State to get them to release documents that they redacted when they responded to a Freedom Of Information Act request that ICM filed last year."

    BUSH: "Ya see, that's what the pr0n terr'ists want! They'd love us to just release this information. Can't you see people will get hurt! National security (of the children) is at stake here."

    Suing the U.S. Government? Fair play, you got some balls and/or a lot of naivety. Good luck.

    Also, if we don't want a .xxx domain then we should probably take the magazines down from the top shelves and put them with the rest.

    Just a thought

  3. Hopefully the domain registry company loses... by Zweideutig · · Score: 5, Funny

    Many people (including myself) resent this disgusting smut. I would rather it didn't become legitimized by having its own top level domain. These "adult entertainment" companies should all cease and desist for the morality of the U.S.
