Credit Cards as legal proof of age- adult sites

BTW, not looking for an argument JR. Yes it is a law, one that has twice been ruled unconstitutional and who's enforcement has been barred by the courts through injunctions.

It is also probably the only law that directly addresses Dianna's question.

i was just curious and sincerely wanted to know. this conversation has came up many times over the years and i keep forgetting where it all stands and no one acts within the law anyway (i.e. 2257, warning pages etc)

would have helped me to just read the first link jace posted.

It is a tough position to be in. To comply with the law (COPA), we have to use a service (Credit Cards) who's terms specifically prohibit us from using thier service for that purpose.

Yes this all very interesting & although I knew it was a law I had no idea it was struck down or the part about Visa prohibiting its use as age. I guess that affects their market for teens & kids having credit cards.

Thanks everyone. I found the link. There was a topic on another board and I couldn't remember where it was.

My processor will not allow me to use a credit card for age verification. Remember, this is why all those AVS companies folded and became AEN -- you can't use a credit card for age verification.
