For it to be 90% effective I'd say fax in copy of government issued I.D... other than that there's really no way to prevent minors from accessing porn. And there's no way every TGP and P2P program is about to start getting people to fax ID's to surf their sites/use their programs... it'll just be way to much work... UNLESS there was a central bureau such as an AVS system who's sole purpose is to verify the ages of surfers who wish to access explicit material on the web and the surfer would just log in using the username/password registered with the bureau...

I can't see many website owners who would willingly use this system out of the goodness of their hearts, there's no way they would take that big of a traffic loss... even though a good percentage of the TGP surfers are probably minors, they price their gallery/ad spots according to the volume of traffic the sites receive and big numbers definetly drive more ad sales...

Most likely won't happen until government steps in. I can also see the next generation of operating systems implementing much more user-friendly parental controls for the not so computer literate parents out there. There are lots btw.
