DN may well have only demanded simply picture w/ DoB, but who has simply that - all photo IDs have more informaiton associated with them. In any case, IT IS NOT DN's PLACE TO DEMAND THESE DOCUMENTS.
Slick is well within his writes (he'd probbly be breaking the law otherwise) to REFUSE these documents to DN - then what??? DN will shut down his domains of course.
Like I said, Lockdown/shutdown - it's the same thing in this case. 
Oh, and just to add, what the fuck would they do if the site in question was hosted in a country where it is NOT law to provide/advertise 2257 documentation??? |
Take a photo ID. Take a photocopy. Take a black marker... black out everything that isn't picture or date of birth. If you have the model ID, you have the ability to produce these items very rapidly.
It is Directnic's job to protect itself from liability. They have to deal with the complaints in front of them or accept the risks of their inaction. There are more than enough lawyers at Intercosmos that I can assure you something like this isn't being done lightly or without some forethought.
Lockdown is way different from shutdown. Lockdown means they can't move the domains... but it doesn't stop traffic from going through them, doesn't stop the business. The difference is huge.
If you enter into a business agreement with an american company, the american company has to work by american laws. It is part of the game. It would take a long time to explain it here, but you can cruise google for a few hours on international law, implication for businesses working in other coutries, etc... it would be a full semester course in university.
