The credit card is proof of age according to the statute so all other discussions of 12 year olds with Visa's are moot. The free speech argument is one dear to me, Still I ask the business question. Why does this industry oppose something that would in my opinion reduce the prolifertion of free porn and force people to take out their credit cards.
We whine collectively when we are associated with child pornography, supporting this law would be a public relations coop and increase our revenues?
