4. Users who upload porn to sites (AFTER the laws change) get prosecuted for illegal file sharing and pay damages.
5. Re-education, as in 'stealing is bad" combined with ad campaigns warning people their computers or worse may be at risk if they visit these 'illegal' porn sites (viruses, identity theft, wife finding out, etc).
Chances of any of the above happening within 5 years: 2%

running a site like Pornhub is per se not something illegal as long as the content is licensed, you can't forbid that
you could do it like the germans and require age verification (there is no free hardcore porn on .de domains) but it would help if Visa and Mastercard would be involved. Otherwise people just move on to other TLDs or countries
getting politicians and religious groups involved would be absurd, as if they would care whether it's legal or illegal porn. they just want us to go away in total
and you don't even need to re-educate people, you can still offer free content for those who are not able or willing to pay - make your money from ad revenue instead
i always see tubes as free TV and paysites as SKY or HBO - you just need to close a few loopholes and have real legal consequences for those that still break the laws.
but just "free = bad" is too simple
