Ya.. but those arent exactly enforced by law. They are more of a recommendation. If a 12 year old watches something rated M on TV, is anyone going to sue the parents? Of course not, that would be silly. Can any kid that looks 14 or older get into an R Rated movie, in most cases yes.
So how would moving something to another domain be any more effective? The sites would still register their .com/.net domains, and those that were on the new domain would make even more advertising efforts in the non-adult domains
I guess I can see the logic behind it for little kids so they dont accidentally enter it.. But cmon.... thats an enormous amount of effort to prevent such a thing, not to mention a waste of money. There are other much more reasonable solutions to keeping little kids away from it. Parental supervision, filtering programs, etc
It would be nice if all that stuff was kept away from children that should not see it, so in theory I'll say its not a bad idea. However actualy carrying it out and enforcing it is absurd.
