this new bill would kill most sites
 

from AVNonline
----------
The proposed act is divided into two sections. Title I stipulates ?an operator of a regulated pornographic website shall verify that any user attempting to access their site is 18 years of age or older using software certified for that purpose ? prior to the display of any pornographic material, including free content that may be available prior to the purchase of a subscription or product?(emphasis added). Title II attempts to fund enforcement of Title I and various other activities related to children and pornography by imposing a 25 percent tax on gross website receipts. The bill also would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to include a revenue category called ?Internet Display or Distribution of Pornography.?

A ?regulated pornographic website? is defined within the draft bill as ?a person required to maintain documents verifying the age of persons engaged in sexually explicit conduct pursuant to section 2257(a) of title 18, United States Code.?

The draft bill also includes a provision mandating ?a bank, credit card company, third-party merchant, Internet Payment Service Provider, or business that performs financial transactions for a regulated pornographic website shall only process age-verified Internet pornography credit card transactions for sales. ...? If that provision survives and the bill clears the House and Senate and is signed into law, it could prohibit such billing mechanisms as online checks, dialers, prepaid access cards, and SMS payments for electronic adult content in the U.S.

Looks like they're making a huge push to regulate us, but we all know it's just going to result in more people heading off shore out of their reach.. (I use out of their reach loosely).

Agreed. If it gets ridiculous I will move my internet interests offshore in a heartbeat.

Move offshore.

Commercial CP is an illusion put into peoples mind, it's just all right wing BS against porn. As usual nobody will vote against it because officially nobody watches porn and another nice law has passed.
