No, that is likely not going to happen. Some of the original idea of the voluntary .xxx was identification and validation of each customer. In a situation with mandatory .xxx, the registrars would be forced to set terms of usage... and some top-level organization would have to administrate the shut down of violations. If such role is extended to ICANN or another organization is not the point - it is the idea, a political one, that is the point.
Regarding piracy, that is already heavy discussed by top politicians. Across nations.. And there are censorship already, because of piracy. Pirate sites will face something similar even sooner, and next to come is the huge flow of porn which is not self-regulated good enough. If you don't
think it will happen? That's fine. But don't be surprised.
