    Directnic, is this the beginning of the end?

    The spark that will ignite the flood that will wipe most adult webbies of the internets?

      The end for Directnic perhaps.
      There are plenty of non US registrars.

          You are fine kandah Just keep your domains, hosting and any other shit out of US jurisdiction.

          They have no clue how to behave and have more lawyers than McDonald's French Fries all trying to justify their pathetic existance - along with elements of society with a mental deficiency called "our values".

          Your are lucky you live in one of the lands of the free - enjoy it

              If the registrars are taking laws into their own hands jurisdiction isn't going to matter much

                  The problem is the US side - it's not an issue in other countries Martin. In fact, it probably always will be unless there is some fundamental change.

                  It would not stand one chance in most other countries - there are laws about abuse and issues remaining over ICANN.

                    I doubt if domain registrars lost all porn domains it would really effect their businesses.

                      The most interesting part of it is that registrars claim 'content control' over the domains registered through them. There is very little support for that in their agreements with ICANN.

                      They're busy building their own grave now, since once they began this content police thing they can be helt accountable for everything they miss. The safe approach would have been 'We only provide domains, we don't care about content.'.

                        Yup, the porn business is doomed.

                            Agree Tony - they may add up, but in the overall, it's no biggie.

                            The main element being they don't get the chance to offer their opinion on anything - domains can go to registrars who behave like registrars and offer a service without an opinion.

                              I think you are totally right, i don't think directnic would even hiccup if all adult dropped their names

                              plus, most of the old schoolers are friends with MikeAI and aren't going anywhere any time soon

                              I have almost 250 domains now, and not one of them is with Directnic, they were always too expensive

                              LOL, and I keep hearing "you get what you pay for!" when people are talking about directnic...haha, i guess they were right, if you pay twice the industry standard for a domain reg, you pay for directnic to play internet police! hahaha

                                There is kinda nada support via ICANN - and an ongoing issue of US govt messing with ICANN. It "may" be nothing - time will tell, but this could be a method of "assuming control" via registrars without showing any messing with ICANN. Anyways.. ICANN is short-lived anyways - it's only a matter of time on that.

                                Sure they are digging their own grave - it's going on daily on different levels not just in the adult biz. It's like a suicide mission in a bid to try and find as many ways as possible to screw the ecomomy as speedily as possible. Hell.. it's their choice...
