Also did you ever think if everyone policed against cp on the net it could cut it down probably 80 percent instead of waiting for police to do it ? OH wait this is the internet where no can be restricted to do anything. Sorry I forgot. My father has a saying "then they wonder why" sadly it will fit for our industry.
Self regulation? The industry is regulated by the government. There are things that are illegal (such as CP), and owners of that content can be arrested and convicted of the crime. The decision about the legality of that is made by our judicial system, as it is in every single industry in the country.

So what you are saying is that everyone should be allowed to "self-regulate" the industry? So I could padlock the doors of a restaurant down the street because I think they got me sick the other night? That form of "regulation" is just a window to abuse, blackmail, and fraud. The only one that should determine legality is our judicial system.

When it comes to CP, I'm all for our government convicting more webmasters of it when they do it. I hope they catch every one of them and throw away the key. But that's their job, not DirectNics. DirectNic is a company that provides a service, nothing more. If they choose not to do business with someone, they have every right to say so. They don't have a right to hold domains hostage because of a hunch.
