'The proposed domain name must not be offensive or contrary to public policy or generally accepted principles of morality.'
I don't think the word porn is generally considered to be offensive or immoral?
I can understand somewhat that "f*ck" is offensive, but porn describes something. It is a real word.
Maybe they're worried about what people might publish on a site called porn.ie? It's quite like that that might be offensive or immoral.
Why do you think porn is offensive or immoral ?
HotdogsFolks said:I don't want to get into the argument about why the word porn is not immoral, why porn is not immoral, etc.,
Are you saying that you actually applied for porn.ie and the application was rejected? Or is this just a hypothetical example and you want to know how to challenge the general policies of the IEDR? Don't the IEDR have a name registration [broken link removed]?Only certain .ie domain names are allowed in Ireland. If the .ie people think a word is "immoral" it is not allowed. An example of this is "Porn.ie".
These kind of rules really rattle me - someone enforcing their (imcorrect) moral code on everyone else.
I don't want to get into the argument about why the word porn is not immoral, why porn is not immoral, etc., but I am bothered that they are allowed make rules and backwards decisions like this.
How would I challenge something like this? Go to court?
Provided you have a RBN for porn.ie they would have to register it.
They allowed police.ie to be registered, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Gardai. I would see a bigger problem with that as it could be used to impersonate the Gardai. Someone got a RBN for it and IEDR registered it.No. They have told me even if it is a RBN they won't allow it. It is offensive / immoral...
