Banning free accounts from land with a script

Hi, I would like to ask if it is possible to ban unauthorized (free) accounts from my land with a script or a 3d party program.
Would a program like that violate ToS or something? (I wouldn't like to do that I state that hereby.)

The program would work like dynamically managing ban list (clearing itself every hour).
I know somehow the client gets the information of me being 'Payment Info Used', the other not.

Would it be a too harsh discrimination? Ideas, suggestions for technical solutions are welcome.

Well, yes, it would be possible, and it wouldn't be against ToS, but, er, there's an option in the land management tools to ban unverifieds from your land *anyway*.

To modify an existing security script to check for unverifieds you would use the function llRequestAgentData.

Thank you, and sorry for the n00b question, but why wouldn't all the shop-closers ban these accounts until CopyBot freakness is over? It would solve most of the problem...

(And by the way, Caledon is one of the nicest places in SL, I just love the steampunk setting!! :) )
