FSC Says: DirectNic Violating Privacy Laws, Requests Are Illegal

12-13-2006, 12:15 PM

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 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.

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.

Maybe some of us "idiots" didn't comment on the "legality" of things, and only on the "right vs. wrong" aspect, because we knew a legal analysis by one of the countries top first amendment attorneys was on the way.

people like me?? you are absolutely, completely and totally out of your fucking mind. i dont give a fuck about anyones site content. i really don't. i never said i did. the issue was about the law and what people kept referring to as "their rights" and what "rights" they do or dont have. it all boils down to very simple legal questions that were never answered until right now.

Can you get that through your thick fucking head?

but then again... what could we expect from a poly-sci major from Berkley whos simplistic world view has broken everything down into black and white... "white" being "liberal democrat" and "black" being "evil conservatives"

jesus christ. you need to get out of the fucking compound more.

What I find funny, is that in their attempt at avoiding liability, they stepped right into it.

Douglas continued, ?Again, under federal law they have no right to these documents, so now they have no protection from civil liability. They are immune from policing content under the law, but now by doing so they have created liability. DirectNic is lawlessly intruding into their business.?

As has already been pointed out...common sense played hugely in understanding the issues going on.

Ooops, almost missed this, sorry bout that.

The nice thing about what was Oprano was that facts never got skipped, if people were wrong, they ponied on up and said "I was wrong".

In this case, I don't happen to agree with the FSC lawyer and I have a lawyer friend of mine checking things out to give me his opinion before I pony up. If Jim agrees with the FSC, then I will say I was wrong, but so far he is telling me that DN can ask for anything they fucking please and are not in violation of the law by doing so. Whether Slick has to comply is another story alltogether.

yeah people like you. EVERY time an issue comes up regarding someone's "rights" - your quote, and isn't that telling - you're on the bandwagon, pounding the drums, being as LOUD as you possibly fucking can about how stupid we are for thinking we as individuals even have any "rights". You're basically an evil person, and someone needs to make sure you know this. You're the bad guy. You're the bookburner, the brownshirt, the censor, the bigot. Everything I hate.

Now fuck off.

Plus we can take Mr. Douglas's comments and put it with the "no 2257 inspections" protection that FSC promised and file it under "good intentions".

Mr Douglas does not address the ToS from Directnic, the terms under which the domain was leased. The only ones who can determine Directnic's liability in the issue would be in a court of law, and any action does to mitigate that liability would work in their favor at a future point.

Mr Douglas may be correct, but it isn't his business and his personal pocketbook on the line. If he was working for Directnic, was licensed to practice law in that state, and was privy to the information that Directnic is faced with, I suspect his opinion might be somewhat different.

Why? its not an issue of common sense. its a simple issue of the policy of a private company, where those policies are within the law and whether or not their request and action was a lawful request/action.

has nothing at all to do with common sense.

supporting it or not supporting it might. but the question was never "do you agree with this". i dont think anyone in their right mind would agree that a registrar should be able to lock your domain for any reason that is not related to its transfer and any issue that might arise during transfer.

in that respect, of course i agree with BoyAlley. but "rights" and "legal" and "illegal" are not subjective ideas. they are codified in law.

I have never seen so many dumbASSumptions in my life - even on GFY!

NOTHING has been played out. DirectNic put a lock until they heard from the customer. Who's to say it won't be removed once the customer says "I want to change registars instead of giving you proof of age"? Who's to say DirectNic wanted anything but the company to contact them and clear up complaints of possible underage pictures? How is it a violation of privacy to provide just a picture and DOB? And more importantly, where was the FSC when at least one of their members was being checked out by the FBI, lol.

Move your domains. From what others have posted, other domain companies have similar stipulations in their contracts (which probably most of you never bother to read...........).

Heard it was a piece of shit and not worth shit. Should be in your price range.

Don't know many people who get L00s3r for a license plate. Whatever floats your boat.

Now fuck off.

Some might say that you are delusional, bitter, angry and confused and you have transposed this image and ideas of everything you feel is making you angry onto others with the misguided idea that somehow you will eventually make the anger go away by getting rid of those external things that are "wrong" and causing you to feel what you feel.

Nothing makes you feel the way you do but you. thats the sad paradox about your anger... you can't change it because you refuse to accept responsibility for it. i can understand that though... it requires true character. it requires humility. it requires maturity. you just aren't ready apparently.

But Dig. I love you. I really love you. please know that i love you very much. i will never censor you or burn your books.. you're special.

Lots of people lease cars and homes - including at least one "playa". I don't see why the issue keeps being brought up against you. If you want to lease your home, your car, your TV - WTF cares??

Hey pleasurepays... I bet you think the Patriot Act is just fine, don't you? I bet you think Bush wiretapping American citizens is fine and dandy, we shouldn't teach evolution in schools, and all kinds of other fun stuff. Maybe we shouldn't hold a presidential election in a time of war?

The fact that you were dead wrong on this issue just highlights the fact that you're dead wrong on damn near EVERY issue. Again, you are evil. You can get personal, you can claim I'm an angry man, but at the end of the day you are what you are, and that's a misguided wannabe moral leader of the porn community. Sad.

I'd be more worried about fitting in the car if I were you.

I imagine that's why you want that convertible, not much space to get in through the door, you can just stick in an appendage and slowly leak into the front seat and steering wheel.
