If AVS will actually keep minors out is not really the issue at hand.
The FSC has members that are pushing for an AVS. They made comments to the Senate about AVS. A very well respected free speech law firm is patenting an AVS technology.

Currently only 2 technologies exist to keep minors away from porn. Labeling and AVS. We know that AVS will never work but we know that there's a huge amount of money in technology patents.
DJilla posted some concern about labeling. I was expressing that I'm OK with labeling and if we don't purpose something soon we may end up with an AVS because there will be big bucks in it.
We can argue about the issues with AVS all day long. While we're doing that we're not pushing a labeling system that will work and others are pushing forward with their AVS proposals.
