    According to AIB:
    All Student Account holders over the age of 16 years can apply for an AIB Debit Card without Parental consent. However, Parental/ Guardian consent is required for an AIB Debit Card if you are under 16 years of age.

    So it would seem perfectly possible for Timmy Horndog to use their own Laser Card. I don't know of any porn sites that take Laser Cards, although my research has not been extensive in that area.

    They could probably use 3V anyway if they were really determined to do it.

    Well even if they can get their hands on a debit card they would need to get the account holder to make any changes to the account.
    Sure they could lie on the phone and say they are the account holder and give them the account holder's date of birth and postcode/address but as soon as they do so they are committing identity theft and onevision would not be liable from that point on.
    If the parents blame onevision for having purn then they are idiots as their is the far more pressing issue of their childs lack of morals.

    As i said before Elmo I think they were happy to pay, not the issue, but classification refused on grounds censors weren't happy to view in order to classify.

    Here's an example of adult on DTT.

    http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2009/07/08/italian-dtt-adult-channels-set-sub-targets/

    "Nitegate, Italy’s first adult pay-TV service on digital terrestrial television, has already signed pre-sales contracts for 100,.000 smart cards and aims to reach 500,000 by the end of this year.

    For €1 a night, subscribers will get access to six hours of programming, from 24:00 to 06:00, aired on four channels (Sexo Exclusive, Sexo Exotica, Sexo Amatorial and Sexo Trasgression) with a library of over 1,000 titles.

    Nitegate is offering a range of packages: Bronze for 30 consecutive days of viewing for €30, Silver with 90 consecutive days for €60 and Gold with 180 consecutive days for €110. The pre-paid smart cards do not require the signing of a contract and there are no activation costs.

    The service is available on the multiplex of the Profit Group and affiliated broadcasters throughout Italy. ....
    " So its not unheard of.

    Doesn't mean it adds any thing to Itialian TV, doesn't Silvio Berlusconi own most of their media, prob no wonder that they have DTT Pay Teleporn.

    Also 500,000 Itialian subs out of how many households? There are 60,000,000 people in Italy meaning an Irish teleporn would get 50,000 subscribers, how many people would it employ?
