On August 30, 2011, Ms. Duke announced that the registered porn industry would be voluntarily shutting down following the news that a performer had contracted HIV. The shut down is set to last until more tests can be done on his or her partners.

Her role has brought her into [[domaining]] circles due to her advocacy of [[Intellectual Property|intellectual property]] and brand protection for the adult industry. She has been active in opposing [[ICM Registry|ICM]]'s [[.xxx]] domain space as it threatens the rights of established brands in the [[.com]] space. The industry's opposition to [[.xxx]] failed to prevent it from eventually being created, so now Ms. Duke is sending petitions and issuing warnings to [[ICM Registry|ICM]]; their continued concern is the protection of their IP rights in the new name space.<ref>[http://www.freespeechcoalition.com/ Free Speech Coalition News Briefing]</ref>
