Okay, question here: In general, does anyone know the implications for a host or registrar that is informed that a model is underage on a site, and then fails to take action?
Are we in the same range as DCMA? Would they become contributory to the situation, and therefore potentially liable? As the likely deep pocket defendant in such a circumstance, would a registrar not find it in their best interest to address these issues directly and without delay?
I would agree that in the specific case of 2257, it would appear that they cannot (and should not) provide model documents to a third party (Directnic).
HOWEVER: It may be within Directnic's scope of operation to assure that the domains that they provide registration services for are legal. We are not talking just "we don't like that fetish", but in fact the potential (real or imagined) of CP images being used or being linked to (again, intentionally or unintentionally, I am not here to judge).
So before we string Mike, Sig, and the rest of the Directnic people up by the balls in public, perhaps giving them a chance to explain might be nice.
