If you think people with illegal sites are going to be concerned with .xxx you are only kidding yourself.
baddog these people would be much easier for the government to go after and prosecute if .xxx was regulated because the government would know exactly who owns what .xxx through verified means(unlike the joke of a system we have now which lets anyone own anything even with fake info). Im not saying it would eliminate 100% but it would go a long way at protecting the legal websites out there. By implementing .xxx essentially the government is ALLOWING and GIVING YOU PERMISSION to run a porn site which makes the burden of legality shared between the owner and the government. Granted this doesnt deal with non-USA entities but since a large portion of porn consumers in the USA does it really matter? Im not trying to say .xxx would not have flaws but look if we dont allow the government to regulate us in some manner eventually we will ALL be labeled as criminals. What IS the alternative I ask?
