Eros, it was just a matter of time before some attorney hauled an adult webmaster into court and the webmaster said their site was protected by credit cards; it wasn't their fault that Visa is giving credit cards (or debit cards which work as a Visa card) to underage minors who were then allowed to access the explicit pornographic material.
That puts the responsibility on Visa's shoulders, and Visa isn't going to have that.
Visa is in the right with AVS systems - they're saying "we're using your VISA card to verify your age", which is a lie now because minors have cards.
America is sue-happy. Imagine all of the lawsuits that would suddenly spring up against Visa if just one person successfully argued that they suffered mental damages after their young son used his Visa Buxxx card to access porn sites and then would never leave his room, wouldn't go to church, etc.
God. It would be like flies swarming on shit - kinda funny to think about, actually. ;)
