*Someone* unknown to anyone but directnic makes a complaint of CP on slicks site(s).

Slicks lawyer then contacts them and they reply saying they only need the docs on the first 14 images.

Did I get that right? Ok, follow me here.

If you are *really* investigating a website/company/person for CP do you stop at 14 images? What if the 15th image is CP?

Since they are taking on the responsibility of determining there is no CP, why stop at 14 images? I assume that this person has a TGP script in place, with rotating galleries...so he has maybe 50,000 plus galleries? Why not insist that documentation is required to be sent to them for all 50,000 galleries? After all, the images that were on the page when the complaint was made are not the images on the page now because they rotate.

Why stop there though? Why not just make every sponsor hand over the ID's to every single model they have hosted galleries for?

Now I am not a lawyer, but I wonder if they have directnic has really thought about what they are getting themselves into. What if they do this to another guy, request the "first 14" and it ends up the site is full of CP except for those 14 thumbs. What happens when the guy is caught by the feds and find out that "directnic" had a complaint about CP, did not give the complaint to the authorities, but instead took it upon themselves to demand the documentation on a micro-fraction of the models to verify they were legal.

-OR-

directnic is given documentation on a model, accepts it as proof of age, and it turns out the model was NOT legal...that the id was fake. The FBI's have a means of looking up to see if docs are real, directnic doesn't

Honestly, if directnic wants to be a hero, heavily donation to organizations actively involved in the prevention of CP and the aprehension and conviction of those sicko's and report any sites they feel may contain CP.

There is a fine I believe for not reporting it, if they "investigate" a site, deem it "ok" and it ends up there WAS CP on it, then I believe directnic would be liable.

However, if they recieved a complaint, notified authorities and let those trained to handle such matters deal with it, then they are in the clear.
