Universities block triple-X domain names

Quote:

Universities have gotten into an unlikely business: buying .xxx website addresses.
New .xxx addresses became available to the public last week,
but some schools didn't wait that long to secure important addresses,
as a way to prevent adult content providers from profitting off them.

As with universities, other trademark holders such as companies
took advantage of the "defensive registrations," Lawley says.
"A lot of famous brands did that."

I see that cellar-dot-xxx is still available...

DanaC · 12-12-2011, 04:52 PM

Prolly a different kind of cellar...

How is this different from any other kind of domain name camping?

Clodfobble · 03-26-2012, 05:56 PM

Because domain name camping is done by someone who has nothing to do with the brand, holding it in the hopes that someone who does have something to do with the brand will want the name.

The universities already own the brand; they are preventing domain name camping before it can happen.

classicman · 03-26-2012, 07:49 PM

So its more like domain-packing before domain camping?

Clodfobble · 03-27-2012, 04:56 PM

Or maybe like pepper-spraying any campers who come near your domain. Stand Your Ground!

BigV · 03-27-2012, 06:16 PM

so, clodfobble.com and clodfobble.xxx are the same thing? They don't say the same thing to me, and presumably, the ones ending with .xxx won't be used. That's camping. I'm just gonna get this, but not use it.

I understand your point. What are they gonna do with them? Redirect to the .edu domain? Cause that might be weird...

ZenGum · 03-27-2012, 07:05 PM

Given what student loans do to your finances, it might be quite appropriate.

Clodfobble · 03-27-2012, 07:07 PM

Well, I imagine you wouldn't be especially offended at being associated with whatever someone else happens to put on BigV.xxx. But just ask Santorum what he thinks of having his name appropriated for XXX purposes.
