There are a bunch of offices that deal with porn? Please share some.
In gmail you can report directly to gmail. Paypal also has a way to alert them of attempted phishing attempts.

Often it is not the domain owner.
I got a few letters from paypal over the course of 2 days saying my url is phishing. They gave me the presumption that I was not the one responsible, which I was not. Found out a couple of people I host for had some form hacked and the hackers placed a paypal phishing page on it.
