Do new laws affect domain prices?

After reading this article this morning, it got me thinking. If a ban on solariums goes nationwide, surely that would have an impact on the price of domains such as solarium.com.au and solariums.com.au; both which are great domain names.

I'm sure there must be other examples where this has happened before. Does anyone know of any?

One that comes to mind is revs.com.au as it has now been replaced by personal property security register.
I've been told the term revs will be no more as time goes by.
