Good article from Wired:

The .XXX Domain Arrives, to a World That Has Moved On

“Lawley defended the higher price to Wired, arguing that it paid for the creation of the brand and trademark database and supports antivirus and secure micropayment systems built in to each website.”

Antivirus and secure micropayment systems. Seriously? WTF is that?

Re: Wired Article on .xxx

I love the last lines:

Back in 2000, or even in 2004 when the .XXX gTLD was resubmitted, a premium domain name made more sense — it was the primary web currency. But in the age of Google, Tumblr, Facebook and abounding App Stores, this just isn’t the case any more. The .XXX domain seems like it’s trying to build the web into something it isn’t: a highly regulated safe space.
