''It's like getting on a merry go round,'' Schwartz said. ``You have to kind of time it right and look for an opening to get in. You can't just willy nilly jump on. You may hit a horse and fall right off.''

How could you possibly make fun of him for that? What he is doing with that domain is the absolute best possible use for a site against child pornography.

You're right, let's pat him on the back for not leasing it to someone in Bangkok.

Apparently he never looked at the site since it's all against child predators all together. Hooray to the owner of childpornography.com. Good luck with the site to keep the public informed and more of these creeps in jail where they should be!

 

[Seraphim]

Too bad the US government doesn't own it. Why the hell would anyone try to buy the thing anyway? Would anyone here buy Rape.com if they had the chance? Not me, no thanks.

 

[Gerry]

What, nobody quoted Adam from the article?

If I bought childpornography.com, I would donate the domain to a charity organization run by people to fight this sh!t. I wouldn't brag about owning it. I wouldn't touch the thing in the first place. Let the powers that be develop it for free for God's sake.

What the hell are you on? Do you know what domaining is? And yes, tons of people would buy the childpornography.com or rape.com.... no one is going to applaud you or give you a cookie here buddy.

What planet are you on ?????
I can't believe what youve just posted
Are you suggesting improper use of these 2 domains is ok?
i'm sure no one on the forum wants a cookie
but im sure the vast majority AGREE that its infinitely preferable to use these domains for good rather than to perpetuate freaks and weirdos obscene use of them - GET REAL and get a conscience

I'm not opposed to the online adult industry
i own a few adult names myself but for God's sake you have to draw the line somewhere and these 2 domains you DEFEND are way beyond acceptability

Kinda reminds me of a saying we have in my country... "thief thinks every man steals"...

I have to agree with dreamking.. You have to have somekind of a moral basis... And I certainly hope that the waste majority of users here at dnf would shy away from domains like rape..com and worse.. Though I am certain a few individuals wouldent...

Build out a victims' resource and prevention site. There are positive uses for even the most negative terms.

 

[Gerry]

Personally, I would not own them. Even with privacy, unquestionably on every national and international task force and law enforcement watch list. Gives me the creeps.

Thats my two pesos, but who cares.
