I don't see the ".XXX" domain names protecting anybody from anything. The sex trade will undoubtedly move into these "new addresses" to make it easier for their "new clients" to find their products easier. They will also keep their "old addresses" because (1) in general, they don't want to lose their old customers, (2) more specifically, they don't want to lose their high dollar wall street wizards, bankers, and elected officials whose daytime sex purchases from their office computer might be more easily blocked by the office IT staff.
Even though sex trade (like prostitution) is legal in some jurisdictions, it still thrives where it is not legal (or wanted by the moral majority). Why would we expect the virtual sex trade to evolve differently?
