| Lusche said: post ident can only be used with physical copies and is used to get age verification of usk18 games for online shops like amazon or others so that they are allowed to send you a physical copy (post ident is a service from dhl a local postal service) not possible for digital copies. Schufa is the first time I heard it that you can use that for age verification. Usually used for credit info verification if you are able to pay for what you are trying to buy. Dont know to much about KJM so cant really comment. But I havent found anything on their homepage that limits selling digital copies on the internet. But yeah I agree we dont really know anything at this point ... |
Post-Ident can be used to verify an entry made online and AFTER that you could buy online without further identification. I think there was a discussion about Post-ident used for DE-Mail: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/De-Mail-verklagt-E-Post-1151657.html
Schufa for age-verification was also new for me, but it seems Verify-U uses this: https://www.verify-u.de/?/helpFaq
KJM: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kommission_für_Jugendmedienschutz
KJM doesn't itself impose any limits, but they can start the process for banning at the BPjM. BPjM cannot ban anything, if nobody makes an request to do so.
And I think Nintendo does far more than is needed by laws. Maybe they want to play it safe or maybe they want a clean image in the eyes of parents.
