If you can join them it means ATVOD haven't caught up with them yet or they have proven that the editorial work is done overseas and not in the UK.

mmm. I imagine I am far from being the only one. So it's mainly videos this organisation is concerned with. They are going to be pretty busy chasing all those naughty people out there.

It's video on demand, that's what the VOD in ATVOD stands for. We are classed as providing TV like content so therefore we have to pay their fees if we have editorial control in the UK.
As Andy says, they are getting everyone at some point. It's free money for them.

Sounds like you have been got so I'd best contact them and be got then too .
I have just looked on CCBill and I am surprised that they are all via credit card and none from a debit card.
Again thanks for your help.

To be pedantic , ATVOD stands for Authority for Television on Demand rather than Video on Demand, but same thing !happy!
It's not the taking of money off you that is the problem - it's only ?145 for a startup site - it's having to run a business with one hand tied behind your back trying to compete with off-shore sites who can advertise more explicitly and have a wider choice of payment options.

If anyone wants to know more about how atvod works and how to run an adult website in the UK that can accept debit card payments and age-verify visitors please contact me on tom.
dennis@portlandtv.co.uk. I'm not sure that CCBills offer is good enough for ATVOD. It all depends on how they are verifiying the age of the visitor.
