No no no. You don't give ANYONE your credit card number. But that's what the courts are proposing to foist on people. Instead of creating a domain, they want "Adult Verification." Which you pay for with a credit card. I think. No thanks. Interferes with real commerce, that way, too. Gets sneaky kids in anyway. (Subverts control.) Yadyadda yaadah. Just give it all a dot.sex. There may be a problem with this plan, but I don't know. No software to buy or update. Libraries can just fix it. Maybe a PG, .spg, for seriously in-between sites. Literature. etc. I don't know, I just know all the bullshit and software proposed is too complicated and ineffectual. And subvertible. I never buy anything, but I would suggest buying on the net. I bet even Amazon has stuff. Maybe not. I don't know. But many of the film co's are on-line sellers. And women's fiction has a bazillion overheated classy-er sites. Somewhere.
