Yes, alll it requires is the complicity (intentional or unintentional) of the credit card companies or to a lesser degree the US government to make it a slam dunk. I see a day when the only adult sites that can get processing are on a .XXX domain, and all the reasonable domains will be held by the big guys.
I could see companies like Google and Adbrite and whoever only accepting adult paid listings from .xxx domains, and I can even picture search engines like google filtering adult keywords to return only .xxx results, potentially banning or blacklisting .com domains in the process.
The end result is that the big guys will get MUCH bigger, remove the affiliate model almost entirely from the game, and keep all the pie for themselves (which in many cases would take marginal business into huge profit businesses overnight... all that affiliate money not getting paid out...)
