“Without adult performers there would be no adult entertainment industry. We want to show our appreciation by proactively reserving a select group of .XXX domain names for adult performers” ICM Registry CEO Stuart Lawley said. “There are too many instances of performer’s domain names being cyber-squatted. We created the Adult Performer Program to prevent that on .XXX.”
ICM Registry said that "the cost to the performers for the .XXX domain names is what the registrar charges for registration."
Stormy Daniels, in a statement, said that she looks forward to working with .XXX.
"This is a great opportunity for me, and I am excited to be a part of all the big things .XXX has planned in the future,” Daniels said.
Said Nina Mercedez: "Before I signed on I did my research about .XXX. I learned that it’s going to be good for the adult entertainment industry and good for the fans, so naturally I wanted to be involved.”
ICM Registry said that Stormy Daniels, along with other porn stars, will be joining the company at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., starting tomorrow through Wednesday.
