I woudn't hold my breath that .xxx will have much, if any, real impact on this industry. If it passes, the odds of it actually becoming mandatory to use are very slim. Even if a law is passed, it may not survive legal challenges. The Supreme Court already ruled in the COPA case that existing filtering software is good enough to filter out any content people may not wish to have access to. There is almost no way they would allow an entire "virtual ghetto" to be created in order to keep it filtered. Not to mention it would almost legitimize the business. It would be like congress is saying "you guys are free to do as you please as long as you use .xxx." They don't want to send us that message. Many of them want to destroy us, not legitimize us.
