I dont have a better solution, probably because im not looking for one. If I decided to solve a world problem it would probably be REAL Child porn, slavery, genocied, rascism, drugs, etc. Not going after penny ante webmasters that have pictures of 20 year old women with lollipopes and teddy bears.

It really is a genuine problem for sponsors Steven. As I said in another post...it isn't so much the government I am worried about when it comes to a site that is using legal images, but insinuating that they are underage...it's the credit card companies.
I have no doubt VISA would happily shut down merchant accounts that may be promoted on these sites. So genuine policing action is needed...like I also said in my past post...I TRY to do it daily with my own affiliates for this very reason.
The other aspect....which has barely been discussed, is those people who are stealing images. I spend hours and sometimes days attempting to shut down these sites or get them to remove my material, WHEN i am lucky enough to come across one.
I come across one of these sites with stolen images at least once a week.
This software would remove the tremendous burden that is put on sponsors to locate these people who are stealing their images.
As a result of this sales would improve because potential subscribers would not be able to find those images anywhere else but from people who legitimately paid for them.
I think it has major potential..and I have to thank Lee for the very public posting of what must have been some very painful times in her life in an effort to dispell some of my worries.
