They're not the law, but good luck trying to run a paysite when no one will process for it.

Paysites advertise on / promote through tubes / free sites - so while much of the content may be on non-.XXX domains, paysites themselves would need to be on a .XXX domain - I understand your point that paysites could simply register most any crappy, .XXX domain and simply use that as a landing, but that makes branding far more difficult.

Before getting over-confident about the rights one presumes to have, read up on "local community standards". There's far less freedom, even in the USA, than many realize.

And furthermore, realize that the nexus of jurisdiction can be determined not only by where someone operates from, but also by
where the visitor is accessing from. Read up on the legal action by the state of Kentucky to shut down / seizing domains of gambling sites
that operated outside of Kentucky.
