This year, British porn enthusiasts will have to begin proving their age in order to watch adult movies on the Internet. This is part of the age verification laws that were passed last year. The laws require that people register with a government website and provide a credit card as evidence of age, after which they would receive an ID number to use when watching porn. If that sounds like a hacker's paradise to you, then you are not alone.
The British government's solution is to allow shops -- news stands, convenience stores, and of course adult-oriented businesses -- to sell "porn passes" after checking the customer's age. So now young people in the UK will have to do for porn what we did in the US in regards to alcohol. Namely bribe an 18-year-old to buy it for us.
