I opened a free account at a Streamate white label to test something and epoch validated my prepaid VISA with $20 or something on it.
If there was some central service that did this, took a prepaid card I don't give a fuck about (limited liability), then gave you an access code for entering porn (or other adult explicit) sites -- I don't see any real problem -- but how much would it cost a website operator, affiliate site or an advertising network to use a service like I am proposing?
This is an indirect tax that the UK government is imposing on the whole world -- nothing gives them that right, it is overbroad and burdensome -- and against US laws.

The other problem is it is a governmental invasion of privacy -- now the government can subpoena the validator for my real name and address. I am officially a registered porn-perv ...
It costs like $.50 to validate a credit card ... Do you want to pay each time a potential customer is admitted to your tour? If you are an affiliate with free explicit content do you want to pay for every visitor admission validation?
Do you think people will upload their ID documents to the UK Department of Pornography and Perverts? They will get photoshopped to hell with foreign IDs they will not be able to validate. UK issued IDs would validate. Someone didn't think this through and consider the expense involved.
How about parents supervise their younger children better -- the lazy ass shits!
When we were 14 we used to buy Playboy and Husler magazines, and when I was 16 we mail ordered danish porno magazines -- so fucking what -- boys will be boys -- get a fuckin' life.
