Adult .IE Domain Names Banned As Immoral

An anonymous reader writes, "The Irish domain prefix, .ie, is controlled by an organization called the IE Domain Registry. In their terms and conditions they state, 'The proposed domain name must not be offensive or contrary to public policy or generally accepted principles of morality.' But this policy is only applied to sex words as this adult webmaster has discovered. Murder.ie is acceptable, Porn.ie is not. Can a word be immoral? And in this day and age, should a government-chosen domain registry be allowed to enforce their own moral code on the public?"

(or solo, given that this is Slashdot)

/ME runs off registering "masturbation.ie" ;-)

I wonder...

[phagstrom]

he proposed domain name must not be offensive

...why is offensive.ie not allowed? :-)

murder.ie?

[zecg]

Nice domain, would've been really cool during the browser wars.

Domain prefix?!?

[noidentity]

The Irish domain prefix, .ie, is controlled by an organization called the IE Domain Registry

No wonder I've never come across an Irish website! I'll have to use -A flag in the future.

Dibs on hairp.ie!

But I'll still let your mom be on it.

Bang goes my Irish convenience store chain.

where did you get THAT idea? The only thing a porn site would most likely "incite" is masturbation.

[Anonymous Coward]

Thus, identical to the Ireland registry provisions. The real question here is, why someone would consider "murder" falling into that provision? I clearly don't. You see, this could be a website about prevening murder, or a forum for people seeking help that had a relative murdered. I don't know.

Or it could be about (a flock/group of) crows.
Ambiguity can be fun.

The poor guy obviously never watched Hogan's Heroes.

Mod parent down.

[TheNoxx]

Who modded this insightful? It's just a half-assed retard attempting to take a pot-shot at personal freedoms. So now sexual liberty is equivalent to some nutjob fucking a watermelon? Eat shit and die, you conservative prick.

Don't like personal freedom, cocksucker? Go to China. Stop fucking up the civilized world.

You heard me. GET OUT.

In light of the news that Republicans consider sex immoral, I'd like to ask "How do you get republicans?

You misunderstand. It's not sex that's immoral. It's sex between Democrats that's immoral. Personally, I even condone Republican-Democrat sex (if they're married of course), but Democrat-Democrat sex... ewwwwww. ;-)

Do you wake up in the morning and blame the Evil Jews when you can't find your slippers? How about when you bang your toe? The Evil Zionist Conspiracy must have been lying in wait for just the right moment to smack you on your toe.

And we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling Slashdotters.
