cp sites using avs?
"A senior Scotland Yard source quoted in today's Daily Mirror: "The forecast is that the Visa list may top 100,000 alone. Together with Mastercard and American Express customers, plus the other major credit card providers, the projection is the total number of British men who have been accessing these sites will exceed 250,000."

It appears that the web pedo "site" these punters originally visited
was, in fact an Adult Verification Service, (one of many such sites)
called "AVS" where you give your credit card, they give you an ID
number and that allows you to access to various porn web sites,
numbered in *thousands* Now, not all the web sites this service
granted access to were at all illegal, and it seems that the legal
sites (the vast majority in fact) will have directed their visitors,
to the offending "Landslide inc" AVS web site, for payment and/or
authentication to gain access to these *adult* porn sites. IE: It was
the adult site they visited in the first place, and they went to
Landslide simply to get a password to go in there to view legal
images.
But as a result of this the police now have the credit card number,
and the name and address of such people, and could soon be paying them
a visit to seize their computers and search their houses, just because
they visited adult web siites and are innocent of any
wrongdoing.......
