The Internet's red-light district has been given the green light by ICANN, paving the way for the new domains to come into play before the end of the year.
A divided U.S. Supreme Court earlier this week suggested that a federal law designed to restrict Internet pornography violated Americans' rights to freedom of speech, but the court stopped short of a definitive ruling striking down the law as unconstitutional.
By the end of this year, Internet users could have an extraordinarily convenient place to find pornography: a new .xxx top-level domain.
Courses for budding porn site operators are attracting failed US dot-comers in their droves, and Australians are showing signs of getting in on the action.
Adult site operator Alec Helmy sends more than 200 links to child pornography Web pages to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Customs Service each month for investigation. He wants to do more, but can't get the agencies to return his calls.
