Just sound logical choices there. Any company or celebrity with the sufficient funds should do the same to avoid their names being used for adult websites. I don't think any comment from these companies or individuals should be required; they are purchasing the domain names to remove them from circulation, not to use them.

Smart pre-emptive move. Whatever I think of her music, I certainly admire the way Taylor Swift manages her career. I have this feeling she knows what she's after and how to get there.

This suggests a money-making ruse:
1) Somehow get ICANN to allow the use of, e.g. .paedophile, .pervert etc.
2) Rake in the cash as companies and celebrities register domains to prevent their misuse.
