More often than not it's "fairness", or to be more specific "the big picture", that those who write, and those who interperate, the law pay the closest attention to. The Pirate Bay ruling is a case in point.
While it's true that no one gives a rats ass if honest adult webmasters can keep their heads above water, there ain't no way in hell that the power structure will let a pack of thieves take down hollywood, the music industry and the rest.
