Yes, it would be easier. In fact, you would probably be able to get laws passed
to require all porno sites be in the .xxx or .sex (or both) TLD(s). But do we
want to do that? Wouldn't that just be begging for governmental censorship?
And yeah, so what if people can't get thier porno? Well, pornography is a
highly subjective term. Some people concider the famous statue of David
pornographic because he's naked. It's not too much of a strech from porno to
art to films and then perhaps print. (Yes I realize this is a worst-case
scenario.)
