From .com to .kam
http://www.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=59345
After .biz .info and the second round of domain names after the ubiquitous .net .org and .com, there is a lot of momentum for a separate domain for pornography. Popular nominee (by the Western World) for this honour is the x-rated .xxx
Now is the time for India to move in. It is time for India to assert its rightful (but missing) influence in the world of the internet. India should start campaigning for .kama or (as the Hindi guys might want it) .kam It can only be a fitting contribution by the land of Kama Sutra and a fitting tribute to Vatsyayana. For too long India has had little say in the developments of the internet. It is time to rally around .kama
It would be silly, though admittedly correct, to argue that the allocation of domain would amount legalising and moralising porn. It would be sillier, again admittedly moral, to disassociate India with the development. However, inspite of reports (and protests) to the contrary, the creation of a separate domain for porn seems is only a matter of time.
Indians can take up the challenge. Use email forwarders, blogs and campaign for .kam
P.S: While we are at it we can also take up the case of .kaam for the Naukri websites
Caution: The westerners are likely to counter .kam with .cum
;)
