Quote - It won't help. The decision was made last year and had something to do with PayPal.

*The trouble with that agument was it was never proved that the amount of  "chargebacks" on credit cards that Paypal was so worried about wouldn't happen with those "adult" guidelines they wanted to enforce in place, since it didn't do anything about stopping that kind of fraud.

In all other cases of child porn that Congress has dealt with, the photographers and distributers were required to have valid proof of age on file in the forms of indentification. If all they were worried about was the liability of being sued then that would be all they would have to do to conform to the letter of the law.  I'm certain that if photographers only went on a case by case basis to determine the age of their models by the judgement of the web site mods they would be leaving themselves wide open to lawsuits.

So both those arguements don't seem to provide solutions to the problems they say they want to fix.
