Anyone here feel best qualified to be point man with the FSC?

I'll be damned the dude really does have a patent (# 6,959,861) for having someone enter their birthdate, calculating against todays date, entering a name (digitally signing) and storing that information along with the IP address.

Budweiser must be getting around the patent issue since you don't digitally sign for their age verification.

And this is somehow better than a warning page?

I guess the legal basis would be that anyone entering that isn't over 18/21 would have falsified their DOB to gain access. Basically a higher level of CYA than a simple warning page. This also requires that scripting is in place to make sure anyone entering the site via another page is redirected to the entry page.

Higher CYA yes, but at quite a price. It's search engine suicide, since spiders will only be able to see the entry page.
