    FSC Says: DirectNic Violating Privacy Laws, Requests Are Illegal

    Excellent reporting here by Steve Javors:

    http://www.xbiz.com/news_piece.php?id=18587

    First Amendment attorney and Free Speech Coalition Chairman Jeffrey Douglas said the ID request is unprecedented, and more importantly, a violation of privacy laws. According to Douglas, the request is illegal, and also could have a chilling effect on the free speech of webmasters that deal in legal teen content.

    ?This is a blatant and absolute violation of privacy laws,? Douglas told XBIZ. ?There?s absolutely no legal liability for the registrar if underage models appear on a website. DirectNic is an officious intermeddler.?

                      FSC has never lied to us either.

                          FSC Says DirectNic are not the Internets Police:

                          ?The bottom line is that if [DirectNic] received a complaint about child porn, there are a numerous avenues for them to report it to the proper legal authorities,? Douglas said. ?DirectNic has no remote prayer to legally justify their request. They are licensed to provide a service ? not to police content. I would think that upon hearing this, most adult companies would transfer their domains [away from DirectNic] immediately.?

                              really? for the first time, a legal analysis was offered explaining the liability issues. if DirectNIC was wrong... then they are wrong. Just because a band of idiots that didn't like something got together to express thier displeasure without addressing the relevant facts, doesn't mean they were right at that moment either.

                                      Got to draw the drama out. The charity sig work is slow this month.

                                              Didn't take much genius to see that they were overstepping thier bounds in the first place. The problem is that people like us HAVE to band together to keep people like YOU from running everybody else over with your own holier than thou brand of 'officious, meddling' morality. And we shouldn't have to.
