Are you under the perception that the current right wing U.S. government has no interest in getting rid of porn? Because Bush and A-s-h-c-r-o-f-t do.
There has already been pressure on the U.S. government from the far right to put all adult content into a specific domain extension (so that it can be filtered out by ISPs.) One reason that it can't happen right now is because there is no adult extension.
The creation of a .xxx extension would be the first step toward the U.S. government censoring the internet for U.S. citizens.
If you don't think that the U.S. government can force U.S. companies to comply with U.S. laws, then you need to go back to law school.
This issue has been debated and discussed for years by lawyers and adult webmasters and last year it was a major issue for the Free Speech Coalition.
There are no benefits to the adult industry and many potential problems.
