Re: ICANN approves .XXX red-light district for the Internet

Suppose, just for the sake of the argument, that a statute or
precedent came about to the effect that a community which permits
access to .xxx sites (by not censoring the DNS) implicitly accepts
"that kind of thing" isn't obscenity under local law.

If we're doing counterfactuals, let's suppose that everyone in the
world thinks that .XXX is a great idea, and ICANN runs itself
efficiently on a budget of $1M/yr.

R's,
