Please point me to a law that would state that DN would be liable to prosecution had they not demanded age verification.
There is no US law that states a registrar has to validate the legality of each and every domain it registers.

If they got a complained, they should have passed it onto the proper authorities. Simple.

Lockdown is not way different from shutdown in this case. Slick has zero obligation to present these documents to DN, yet if he doesn't they have threatened to shut them down. So you see, if Slick does nothing (his legal right), he will lose his domains.

So what about internet gambling? I have two precious and lucrative gambling domains which are hosted offshore. Internet gambling is illegal in the US - does DN shutdown my domains because my off-shore content that is illegal in the US is registered through them????
