Re: ICANN approves .XXX red-light district for the Internet

US Code TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 71 > § 1470 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00001470----000-.html

That law includes the phrase "knowing that such other individual has not attained the age of 16 years." That's why porn sites have a home page that asks you how old you are. As far as I can tell from looking for case law, all the 1470 cases are basically child molestation cases where the 1470 count was piled on in addition to the real charges, unrelated to kids looking for porn sites. So, in short, there's no problem for .XXX to solve.
