Make Sure You Get Your Library's Porn Site Before I Do

XXX: 30 Porn-Star Portraits
The registration for the new ".xxx" (dot ex ex ex) domain has begun.  ".com's" (dot com's) dirty uncle, approved a few months ago, has begun the registration process to existing websites and known names for anywhere between $150 to $300ish.  The domain will be in general use beginning sometime next year.  BBC via Geekologie

Now, after an uncomfortable shuffle or a nervous chuckle, here's what you should be thinking:  What does this have to do with me and my library?  What would all you respectable libraries do if I owned the following addresses:  www.nypl.xxx, www.publiclibraries.xxx, www.lapl.xxx, www.hclib.xxx, and www.ipl.xxx. What would happen if I did not link them to their nice, respectable ".com" or ".org" counterparts, but instead to www.bannedlibrary.xxx, which I assure you will not be kittens sneezing.  

Your move, people with class.
