A registrar shouldn't decide a life altering career change, or maybe that's me. :2 cents:

maybe they just shut them all down, and are going thru them and are unblocking the ones they feel aren't a problem.

They need solid proof that he did otherwise they're looking at a serious defamation of character lawsuit if they were to start telling people he's peddling cp. :2 cents:

amen to that!

thats because those are not regged with DN
he has a few domains with other registrars.

Which begs the question, if there really was a court order, wouldn't all the
domains go down ?

jesus christ this thread is moving too fast

Have you watched the news where CP is ever mentioned? There's no proof, they smear the hell out of the person on allegations.

Slick.. don't waste time here... nothing matters here.

Deal direct with your lawyer and respond to the DN communication. If your lawyer is still at the strategy stage - he needs a kick up the ass.

There are other obvious issues you obviously need to either address or clean up - strongly suggest you do that asap since there is a fair chance of this issue escalating to a point where you don't want to be.

There usually is, but it is what meets the eye that does the damage

And they end up getting sued to fuck and back...as long as the person in question has a good attorney of course. Some people just let it happen to them or are to poor to even bother with an attorney.

Good luck slick, you are going to need it

pretty obvious who directnic is seeding talking points to around here imho.

It can ruin a man.
Anyone here would take a serious hit if their 10 most important domains were shut down.

RRRED, I just want to add this: Any single smaller girl (say like Josie Junior) presented along and by herself isn't really an issue. However, a CJ site like this with a whole pile of these images together, on a domain like "horny teddy" or "gall 17" or "young teen pics" leaves the impression of something else. The only reason these CJs work is because people keep clicking and clicking hoping to find the CP... It is pretty sad.

Slick, good luck to you, I hope you find the light at the end of the tunnel.

That is 100% true. DN didn't just decide to hassle you one day, they have orders to do so. Get your Lawyed NOW and prepare for the feds. This isnt a matter of DN thinking somethings wrong with your sites, it's much higher than that.:2 cents:

who? I personally have had no contact with anyone from Directnic or Intercomsos for the longest of times.

fuck for me too :-/

Sued or not, you can't take allegations back, you can't take what people think of you back, you can't reverse the damage that this will do to slick for the rest of his life.

Hey Slick - Sorry to hear of your troubles. Check out Moniker. Give me a shout to discuss when the dust settles :thumbsup

THANKS

"Moniker is the first and only provider of Domain Asset Management"

explain what law supercedes the terms and conditions on their site that slick agreed to where he grants them the right to do exactly this.

otherwise.. you people should really shut the fuck up about "rights" and "illegal"

how nice of you to spam a guy while he is down!

AND here comes the leeches

Hes in reg lock smartass

Wow, bottom feeding, kudos to you.

jesus christ :Oh crap

Thanks I'll be sure to look into it :)

Terms and conditions cannot knowingly or unknowingly force someone to break the law. There are such things as privacy laws for a reason.

True, but making it on the news by suing for defamation of character and winning proves he/she was not doing what they are blaming...but of course those stories never make it into the media.

I love it, talking points :) LOL

Look your talking about one of the largest registers out there. As others have said they didn't wake up a few days ago and decide to go on a mission..

What could a headline be?

"Domain Registrer Directnic shuts down domains of suspected porn barron with young looking girls"

Who do you think the "mainstream" of american public would side with.. I am a big supporter of the 1st ammed, etc, etc but there is more to this story guys and gals.

Very bad move on the part of DirectNic.

Not that it will make a huge difference to DN but I just bulk transfered all my domains to Moniker.

Actually, can you find any allegations anywhere? I don't see any. Had Slick not brought this to the boards, there would be nothing public about it. I don't think Directnic has said anything in public about the sites specifically having CP images on them.

There is also a black hole of information here. Everyone is assuming that DN is operating as a rogue company, randomly closing domains. You might think perhaps that there is just a little bit more to the story than that?

jumping to conclusions...

You really think him winning a defamation of character suit would make his relationships with his neighbors improve? They're going to fear he's a child predator and make him a pariah.

ya know, you'd make much more money killing prostitutes, robbin' banks, much more than running CP real or pseudo.
What holds you?

... and exactly which US privacy law would be broken here?

Read everything I said in my last paragraph please.

They requested to see age documents on models on his website, are they appointed representatives by the DOJ?

Ya know, I'll have to say it again, I HAVE NO CHILD PORN ON MY FUCKING PAGES !!!!! There are sites out there that are CLEARLY showing child porn, why not go after them.

What the fuck is this, the fucking Pat Robertson Messageboard ???

is a pic/date of birth considered personally identifying information?

all the opinions and advice (with respect to a few) mean nothing.

speak with your legal counsel (as was advised by a few here) for everything here is just spouting speculation. period.

Can you show us where The Federal Privacy Act talks about representatives of the DOJ?

No, they asked to see a picture ID and date of birth only, no personal information, which would not be a violation of privacy laws, because no personal information is shown.

Only the AG (or his appointed staff) may make an official 2257 inspection. Directnic didn't ask to make a 2257 inspection.

I give up, you're entirely right.

What if the content(ID) was shot in 1997 and the girl was born in 1984?
What does the ID prove in that case? You sort of need full docs to make any use of the ID's..

Yes, that pic/DOB can also contain (depending on the state) social security number, blood type and of course a home address.

No, it would be the "porn people tired of having the US federal government on our heads because we are too fucking stupid to control ourselves" messageboard.

Carry on.

it's called a sharpie marker. Get one.

My bank asked me for a picture ID when I wrote a check for cash yesterday. The stores ask for one when I use my credit card or write a check. They aren't representatives of the DOJ either :thumbsup

DN is loaded with lawyers. I can't imagine they turned Slick off without a reason, but if they did, he has EVERY right to sue them. He already has an attorney. I suspect, like when he first approached this situation by making a post here instead of contacting DirectNic or his attorney, that he again posted here before knowing the story of what's going on.

But AGAIN, for those of you who feel someone's "seeding" me, lol, if DN screwed up, they deserve to be sued.

Same arguments as before. Trust me, anyone shooting CP ain't getting model IDs, and ain't staying in contact with the models after to get a current ID.

CP people don't keep 2257 records... and that is the point.

I fail to see how a bank asking YOU for YOUR id compares to DN asking Slick for the model's id. Third party identification is not first party identification and this argument doesn't stand up.

That is a little different. They didn't ask the model for their IDs, they asked a 3rd party to provide it. But, if you are going to have models that look as young as those, you are likely to be harrassed by someone.

True, I was gonna write something like that. Gold rush days are over, this is business pure and simple.

If your sites and pages are totally legit, I would imagine you have nothing much to worry about..

I don't have any domains with DN - as a business person I know they didn't just close down domains for no reason at all, wouldn't serve a purpose...
