As wrong as I think DN is for playing 2257 inspector, I think Slick should just give them the 14 blacked out ids. If he doesn't and they turn this over to government authorities he is fucked. He obviously does not have 2257 docs and with the recent change in 2257 to basically make anyone who uploads a sexually explicit picture to the "series of tubes" a porn producer he will be in violation of 2257.
Do not kid yourself, there will be no "precedent set". This is GFY and while it is a pretty popular place I don't think that all the major registrars are hanging on every word of this "case". If this went to court and the case did not settle before a judgment then there would be a "legal precedent" set and that is the only thing that matters.
The major points to learn from all this are.
1. Have 2257 docs for all sexually explicit content you host.
-forget about DN what if the DOJ wanted to see the docs?
2. If you have "questionable content" on your site you are the 1st target and need to expect problems.
-Personally I stay away from anything teen related, but that is a moral decision (which has nothing to do with this) and because I just don't want to be on the front line when the nuts in the country decide to throw everyone related to porn in jail because they don't like it.
3. Everyone on GFY has an opinion and someone will always disagree with it - even mine.
-Think about what you would do if you were in Slicks situation. Would you want the heat on you if you knew that you didn't have the docs required by law
