They had also suggested that all adult websites would have to have a .xxx extension which would be crazy since some domain names with several extensions are owned by several different people. Who the fuck ownes the trademark "HOT PUSSY"?

No the adult industry did not want the .xxx extension - well most anyone with a brain who was not in it for the money grab. It also would not add legitimacy at all, it just would allow for easy censorship and establish an internet ghetto.
As for forcing everyone to a .xxx extension be required - beyond any legal ramifications in trying to actually enforce it. You would have conflicts between assorted extensions. You did ask who owned the trademark, which is actually an easy question. Odds are if someone does own an actual trademark then they get the domain on all extensions. I do not think that is what you meant though and I think you just mean who would have the right to a domain name in such an event.
