Big Porn v. Big Web Ruling Could Spell Trouble for ICANN
http://j.mp/MHusKS (Litigation Daily / Law.com) [Gotta love the name, "Litigation Daily"]
"U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez partly granted motions to dismiss
filed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the
nonprofit organization in charge of the domain name system, and ICM
Registry, LLC, the registry running the .xxx domain. But the judge
allowed the plaintiffs to pursue their core claims that ICANN and ICM
were running what amounts to a shakedown of the adult industry,
forcing website operators to defensively seek .xxx addresses to
protect their brands."
