this is bothering me now

maybe i am missing something then cause i cannot see what is arbitrary about laws pertaining to children. either you can or you can't; i dont see the gray area in this. then again, i am also not a lawyer.

with parental consent, there are somethings you can do from ages 13-17. i know my first job, i had to have, in writing, that i was allowed to work (this was when i was 13) and even then, i was only allowed to work from 3pm to 6pm (I was not legally allowed to work past sun down) and i could only work 10 hours a week. this was a regular job in a restaurant.

granted the internet is a wide open realm which is hard to monitor, but lets say you had an affiliate who was pushing you massive traffic, hence making you a shit load of money and you found out this person was 16. would you term his/her account or keep it hush hush. what kind of legal backlash could you end up with knowing this information and not doing anything about it?

for the record, i do not have a program and am not going though anything like this.
