Sure, there are some potential complications, but not more complicated than anything else. Its could be a problem for those registrars not adapting and offering offshore services, and those webmasters not reading the registrars TOS. But in the end, its all about banning porn or not, because they can't lock a legal website/domain.

Yes. However.
In a country where "legal" as applied to the adult business is determined on a case by case basis in the form of what is "obscene", and where the laws on "legal" are so blurred on so many levels, this is something to put in the back of your brain and watch carefully.
(Hypothetical) Is it legal to have videos on your site in Alabama where a girl has two guys come on her face?
Anything left open for interpretation is bound to be tested under a new precedent. Its like a trend in the industry. One guy opens a tube site, hey look at that, now theres 100 of them. You know what I mean? One state passes a law, the rest of them look around at ways the can potentially benefit from them.
Laws = Revenue. Everyone should remember that. Revenue in a legal sense is called restitution.
Nothing to really prove right or wrong on either side here. Just keep your eyes on this.
