This may very well be the outcome with any enacted statute being applied toward movies, music, etc. .

However, the successful use of the in rem process in this manner, with it's extraterritorial aspects with regard to the international presence of the Internet, sets a disturbing precedent.

Alluding to the industry's concerns of the .xxx matter, this in rem precedent might give any US statute teeth on extraterritorial persons, making them, by their property, subject to any future law requiring the operators in the adult industry use the sTLD of .xxx ? there is reasonable cause for some paranoia in this in rem precedent.
