Keep in mind that a large portion of the paying surfers are educated and already paranoid. They are worried about their jobs and the authorities finding porn on their computers.
If this bill passes they will be aware that they have just been put in a pot for the pickings. This aspect will also greatly affect the webmasters. It is a means to put all of the people you want to get rid of in one place. The military uses this methodology in war tactics along with the authorities. This will be devastating to the porn industry. It is hard enough to get a weary surfer to use a credit card to purchase porn related material. Imagine if they had evidence (.xxx) they where being watched. This will cause the gross profit in the adult industry to slowly fizzle itself out. It is very easy to sniff out one area using tracing software. It?s much harder to sniff out 5 10 or 30 (.com .biz ect).
