As far as your Government shutting down " bad " sites statement you are making " bad " and " illegal " the same and they should be different. While porn may be " bad " in some people's opinion it is not illegal and in most cases it's protected by the 1st amendment which wasn't written specifically to save porn but porn indirectly benefited by it.
When the Government makes a law to protect mainstream intellectual property porn will also benefit from it.

Intellectual property is already protected. If and when it comes to enforcement (sites being blocked or shut down, arrests being made, etc). porn will not be a government priority.
