You're right. Distributing hardcore content in HK is against the law.
But Filesonic aren't distributing hardcore content out of Hong Kong, they are only taking payments and paying affiliates. Running a filelocker that can be used for other services, at least that's how they will play it from a legal standpoint.
Hong Kong police aren't going to do fuck all because there isn't any porn on servers in Hong Kong.
Chances are the HK corp is a holding company for some other company in another tax haven anyway. This would mean they don't have to submit their books to the HK tax office as they would if the corp was in HK.
