Good point. For the sake of the argument let's say making porn illegal also implies the anti-porn enforcement has some teeth. I think if it really mattered to the powers that be, porn could be made much less available. I'm sure bootlegs would be out there, but would be much less likely to end up in the hands of, for example, an 8-year-old.
Edit: Definitely streaming porn online could come to an end. Torrents, probably not.
Anti-gun legislation has plenty of teeth and it is completely ineffective in cities like Baltimore, Chicago, etc.
I would argue regulating web content is a lot different than regulating guns and booze (another failed ban which is why I mention it).
To flip it around: are you opposed a ban on, say, anti-Israel videos? Or would that not really matter because you can't legislate behavior?
I don't think we should ban guns, drugs, booze, porn, or anti-Israel videos.
