It is especially fucked because these atvod specifically say that ccbill, epoch are not compliant, from their sentence on terminated Bootybox:
"CCBill.com and Epoch could process debit card payments. Since a debit card can be held by a person under the age of 18, ATVOD has made clear in Guidance that possession of such a card can not be regarded as confirming age.
The UKash payment system (embeded in Epoch) fell short of being an effective content access control mechanism. Ageverification took place only if the relevant vouchers were bought from one of the three possible types of retailer."
Any parent can be a spy and report own kid watching an adult site:

"inclusion within this Directory merely confirms that we have received a notification"
I quickly browsed I could find mostly UK adult sites, one I know it is onlytease.com and art-lingerie.com ... regarding art-lingerie it shows naked in home , and anyway even no naked previews and using ccbill or epoch for member area would not make it compliant, now I wonder.
As they require:
----------
ATVOD requires is that there should be in place a Content Access Control System "CAC"
Acceptable for age verification purposes include:
- Confirmation of credit card ownership or other form of payment where mandatory proof that the holder is 18 or over is required prior to issue.
- A reputable personal digital identity management service which uses checks on an independent and reliable database, such as the electoral roll.
- Other comparable proof of account ownership which effectively verifies age.
----------
But in reality, no online adult verification service like this technically exists for UK. An UK webmaster can not apply to some government-provided and supported AVS service or standard, they simply say you're not compliant and not even show a single compliant site, as no one exists or can exist. At least in germany they made some standards for adult verification, maybe Nathan knows these as used to run german sites too, but no wonder manwin is in Canada, could not run pornhub as german entity - and not as uk one anymore too.
At some point in the future all adult sites will have to move under some rebel island not compliant with usa, canada, euro union and australia laws (in meantime all banning nudity and cookies), let's bump this thread in 2015 and 2020 for news.
