Chris, I have to say I disagree with you here. If you have a complaint in your hand about CP, giving the offender a chance to move their domains to another place and sneak away isn't a good idea. Do you honestly think that Slick would have done anything except move his domains to another registrar?
Nobody is suggesting that registrars need to check all the content on all the domains they have registered. Dirctnic was working from a complaint, not a moral high horse. No complaint, no issue. CP is a very serious subject, not like copyright violations or spam complaints. What would be good for handling spam (or a wayward member of a free host) isn't the same as when you have a valid complaint in your hand about models on a site.
It doesn't mean that the information hasn't ALSO been forwarded to the FBI, there is nothing to preclude that. I think Directnic took their responsiblity that is part of their ToS and did what they need to enforce their registration contract. We may not like the means because we are all riled up about 2257 inspections and whatnot, but that is that. Directnic didn't ask for a 2257 inspection, and they didn't shut Slick's business down. They just didn't provide him a simple way to slip away in a midnight move to an offshore registry to avoid the hassle.
Again, verifying all model ages of all models on all sites is not within hter purview of the registrar, but taking complaints about CP seriously and acting on them with the best interests of all parties (not just your domain holder) in mind is a very wise thing to do.
