First of all, a lot of third world countries are corrupt. So whether porn is illegal or not has nothing to do with it. It depends on whether the local authorities get bribed or not.

New domestic laws would help but ONLY if ISPs and the backbone are legally responsible for content they know is stolen. In the U.S. that is not currently the case. If that were to change then the playing field is different. That won't come as a result of any porn industry lobbying. It will come from the RIAA and such.

The icing on the case is the first world countries has no real desire to go after resident illegal tube owners since they don't really see pornographers as upstanding citizens. They don't have to destroy the porn industry as it will take care of itself. I am not saying porn won't exist but it will be much different then today.
