They pay the legal fee and fine if LL are prosecuted.
I wonder what happens in civil cases with damages.

If that's true, LL can't be held responsible for someone fraudulently ticking the "I am over 18" box.
This verification service has the same effect at greater cost.
Also, that claim that they have never had a client prosecuted could soon be gone. bud.tv is in the firing line from a lot of states because they aren't doing enough to prevent underage users. Nothing aristotle can offer would be enough.

Exactly. Even if it's considered enough now what happens next year when some kid is busted for being on SL with daddy's information? More personal information will be required? Background checks? Notarized documents? I bet the age verification company is either not charging LL or they are actually paying LL for the privilege of sorting through all that volunteered information. |

I'd like to ask... how would this obviously US related company know if I lived in Bátonyterenye or Mezőkeresztes-Mezőnyárád... or if I really am a habitant in Batthyány tér 21/a VIII.em. 31. or is that 23/b and VII.em. 27?
I would be truly sad if they had a way of checking that, because that would mean either my government leaked it or any of the companies that I'm in contract with. (Like insurance firms, telephone company, etc.)
BUT if they can't check it... if I can simply make up some false data and get verified, then what's the point in it? Even worse... if it only works for some countries... where's the equality that more or less was present in SL so far?
