Irish Domain Registry Banning Adult Domains 222
Karate Sid writes "An Irish adult website has blogged about the Irish domain registry banning adult domain names, including porn.ie and pornography.ie. The IEDR's reasoning is that the words 'porn' and 'pornography' are offensive and immoral. Of interest is how Sex.ie took legal action against the IEDR — and proved that neither word is offensive — yet still lost the case, as the IEDR are the highest authority in Ireland when it comes to deciding what is and isn't an offensive domain."

Really a shame on this. I'd argue that we need more Irish porn in the world :(.
Name vs. content (Score:5, Funny)
So this only applies to the domain name, and not the content, right?
Is there anything offensive about the name "goatse"?

This is slashdot. Anything with IE in it is dirty and disgusting and offensive and downright immoral.
BTW, next they'll be banning slashdot.ie because it contains the word "slash", which is reminiscent of Jack the Ripper and violence in general. They've already banned OJ's domain - (W - W - W -SLASH - SLASH - BACKSLASH - SLASH DOT EYE EEE).

Deliberate acts of censorship are interpreted as DAMAGE to the internet, which routes around it.
This means that the actions of the governmental body have caused irreperable harm to the internet.
Al Gore might very well sue. That's his baby.

If you insist posting sex stories, please don't repeat the same over and over again. This lack of variety would make even baby Jeesus cry.
