    Breaking News 🚨 Kansas Files Lawsuit Against Metart Over Age Verification Law Violations.

    The lawsuit alleges that SARJ LLC, a Seattle-based technology company, has failed to implement commercially reasonable age verification measures across its platforms. They are seeking $10,000 per violation, per day.

    The lawsuit alleges that SARJ LLC, a Seattle-based technology company, has failed to implement commercially reasonable age verification measures across its platforms, which include:
    • metartnetwork.com
    • metart.com
    • metartx.com
    • sexart.com
    • vivthomas.com

    • domai.com
    • goddessnudes.com
    • rylskyart.com
    • stunning18.com

      Why would they have a company set up in the US in the first place?

          A lot of large companies are set up in the US. Why are you blaming the victim?

              Yeah, and a lot of large companies are not. It makes no sense for an online company to be set up in the US, as it doesn't bring any advantages, only disadvantages.

                  Expect a lot more of this as we continue to get what we voted for 🍿😎

                      There needs to be one set of laws that govern the Internet. It cannot be country by country and state by state. That's just crazy.

                      I am also sick and tired of the cookies acceptance bullshit.

                          I have my site in the Netherlands, yet I upload from here in the USA. I'm wondering how all this BS will affect my business.

                              So affiliates who have to comply with these laws will soon be required to age verify their visitor, then hope he clicks on to a sponsor site, which will also require to age verify him again, and then hope after all this he will purchase a membership?

                                          The 30% loophole : The only law applies to websites that have more than 30% porn.

                                          So as long as google has 2 billion non-adult images, they can show 1 billion porn images.

                                              The "one-third rule" exists in the Texas law, but it is not universally applied in all states. For example, Louisiana and Tennessee have stricter laws that apply to any website containing adult content, without specifying a percentage threshold.

                                                  And who will decide the rules? Which country? Why would other countries care about what a few countries decide upon?

                                                      This seems like something ICAAN could implement quite easily if they so wanted, the have rules in place for how domain registrars already operate that we have to follow once we register a domain name, would seem easy enough for ICAAN to say 'oh if you have adult content, you gotta verify user IDs or lose the domain.

                                                      Not ideal by any means, but a much simpler and likely less problematic route than giving individual countries free reign of limiting free speech and artistic expression online.

                                                          It is simpler? So if the US decide to censor free speech online, its just simpler for other countries to do the same? NO, its actually simpler for other countries to tell them GFY and do their own thing.

The cheapest I could find (with scale of course,) was $1/verification. Most of my clients, and most sites, I imagine, would fall between $2-3 per verification for the services that actually hit every verification requirement.

                                                                                              Imagine having to verify everyone and pay for it out of pocket, and then hope those providers don't get hacked later on.

They can't shut it down because it violates my right to see it as an adult.

                                                                                                  This is entirely a parents job to prevent their kids from seeing what's on the Internet. Hell, I've seen links to sites that show a man getting his head cut off, and another with a man laying on RR tracks cut in half. So this is ok but not if they had erections?

                                                                                                  This shit will be thrown out of court.

The cheapest I could find (with scale of course,) was $1/verification. Most of my clients, and most sites, I imagine, would fall between $2-3 per verification for the services that actually hit every verification requirement.

                                                                                                      Imagine having to verify everyone and pay for it out of pocket, and then hope those providers don't get hacked later on.

Impossible to operate this way. $2-3 per thousand is doable but not per visitor.

                                                                                                      And if you pay $1 for a visitor and he joins do you charge him that extra dollar? What about the mass amount who do not signup?

The cheapest I could find (with scale of course,) was $1/verification. Most of my clients, and most sites, I imagine, would fall between $2-3 per verification for the services that actually hit every verification requirement.

There's actually no need for any other system to verify a purchaser age.

I am now getting my most profitable tours re-designed to be SFW. This will be good for YouTube and social media traffic as well.

By Visa, MC and the banks? Or are they assuming all those CC#'s are stolen from adults? Weird.

The bank that I talked to said no to this, and told us to just ban the states. I'll revisit it with the client and see if that has changed.

                                                                                                                                                  Personally, I think SFW tours + age verification after payment is way better. I could definitely integrate that into my login system.

I am now getting my most profitable tours re-designed to be SFW. This will be good for YouTube and social media traffic as well.

All minors with checking accounts get visa/mc debit cards.

                                                                                                                                                              I honestly can't think of *anything* in the past 15-20 years that was invented by the adult industry, other than how to decimate itself and kill profits across a wide range of business models.
                                                                                                                                                              I was actually thinking more about the network infrastructure behind the scenes.

                                                                                                                                                              Imagine a standard tube site with 100,000 visitors per day offering 2K and 4K video streaming, and then consider that this single page is blowing through between 5 and 10 petabytes of traffic.

                                                                                                                                                              It's hard to imagine what excess capacity in terms of personnel and equipment at registrars, data centers, ISPs, power suppliers, in the end-consumer electronics sector and so on
                                                                                                                                                              would be freed up, if 60 or 70 percent of the entire network were to be shut down within a very short space of time!

                                                                                                                                                              Or should the youth protection laws also be applied to standard cinema films, games, music and content that is rated PG16 or PG18?

                                                                                                                                                                  This is how Germans do it for 20 years.

                                                                                                                                                                  Also has the advantage of less available free hc content and raises the chances people sign up.
                                                                                                                                                                  Is this for sponsors or affiliates or both?

                                                                                                                                                                  I imagine Germans have been able to do this for 20 years because they have countless affiliates outside of Germany sending them visitors primed by hardcore promotional material and ready to sign up.

                                                                                                                                                                  But if both affiliates and sponsors nearly everywhere are going to have to operate under the same strict age verification laws, then it's not going to be so easy.

                                                                                                                                                                  But yes, sponsors should be providing more softcore promotional material for affiliates as of now.

                                                                                                                                                                              Its going to suck because now you arent going to need one lawyer, now you will need several. One for each country or at least one in the EU and one in the US for all of the AVS that are being implemented across the world.

                                                                                                                                                                              And there arent too many EU lawyers I know that specialize in adult.

It makes no sense for an online company to be set up in the US, as it doesn't bring any advantages, only disadvantages.
