In the more serious categories, such as child porn and violent sexual material, no functioning open sites remain and many of the sites that require registration are crippled.

How did you arrive at your conclusion?  What were the criteria for the 
study / canvasing?

Well, maybe it's been scrubbed from Tor (which is good, if true). That's 
really all this list is about & all that matters regarding a better 
reputation for Tor.  I doubt such illegal activities will disappear or 
stay "gone" from society for long. Been around for a while (all of 
recorded history).
