It is 18..

It is a binding contract and thus why 18..
This was re-opened?

Same. I would be like "umm, no thanks, I'll go on another forum, thank you"
Any reason my post reffering to henry morgantaller was disallowed?

That's correct and would be very effective IMO, but not every 18+ year-old person has a driver's licence (e.g. I'm 19 years old and I still don't have a driver's licence or a credit card).
I wouldn't scan my driver license it's a waste of my time. I'll just go somewhere that I don't need to do that.

GoDaddy has rules in place to follow by law like every other registrar, wether you break those TOS rules being under the age thats the risk you take not me being that im over 18.

You started this thread asking a question; What is the legal age owning a domain/website? We have all answered the question numerous time but you chose not to listen - why do you ask it in the first place?

There is laws that govern the rules of a buinsess and by not following the rules of the buisness your breaking the rules which are laws of the terms of service. I have already posted 3 huge Companies that have already mentioned what age it is in and requirements of domains/websites/hosting.

Yet some of you kids still reply and play this silly game I dont care attitude or you constantly question and push authority aka (TOS) thats already in place on sites. I don't understand.

You have posted their terms of services. I'm pretty sure that there are far far more than just 3 registrars/hosts available. Most of which don't care what your age is.

Now, what LAW (not TOS, not morals) is there that prevents children from being webmasters? =/
