#2I'm sure the lawmakers will love this. How soon will we see bills introduced to make it illegal to host adult sites outside of the .xxx tld?

Moving all adult sites to the .xxx tld might help cut down on the false positives from content filters. But it sure could turn into a legislative nightmare.

Hey it puts all the bad stuff in one place right...

It would certainly help parents regulate their children's access to adult material (simply block .xxx through your router for whatever machines your kids have access too). However, this is in principle and will never work in practice.
Sure US legislators can make it mandatory for porn sites to have .xxx, however there are roughly 265 countries in the world. You'll never get every one of them to agree on regulations.

In practice that could go wrong in a number of way, but I don't see a problem with it in principle.

Of course the question is what sites get the definition of 'adult'. There are nude photos on Flickr after all...
And even if in the US porn isn't forced into the .xxx tld by law, for other countries they may jump on it much faster.
Then of course there is the issue of a slippery slope. What other content could be forced onto certain tlds by law?

#8.xxx will be here soon - but only after we spend several more years speculating about how soon the .xxx tld will be created.

Also consider the enormous financial incentive to not force porn to .xxx. The US moves everything to .xxx? The Canadians rake in the money.
