I think ICRA labelling is a good solution, that if adult sites self-labelled themselves, then it would send a very strong message to Congress that technology, not legislation and prosecution, can prevent minors and adults from seeing what they don't want to see on the internet.
By self-labelling with ICRA, it takes the spotlight off of the "good" webmasters that do the labelling, and focus on the "bad" webmasters that didn't.
If those "bad'" webmasters are outside the US, then it will clearly show some futility about trying to manage a global world within US boundaries. The big difference is that if you are in the US, then you are bound to US laws and it does become your issue.
Webmasters need to make their own individual decisions about whether they want to be a part of the solution (which is to allow consenting adults to be able to view porn in the comfort of their own homes), or the problem (having children inadvertantly view porn).
Fight the "ugly" webmasters!
