We need TGF in here with his "jump to conclusions" pic. :)

Which would lead to (E) helping someone who potentially as illegal material to carry on his business, plus giving him plenty of time to cover his tracks...

That sounds so good. Next time I see a phishing scam going on, I won't contact the host to get it shut down, i will recommend that they ask the domain holder to move to another host. That will truly solve the problem. :Oh crap

Just to conclusion?

Have you heard of the police, law enforcement, those guys that go around and arrest people for doing bad things? You act as if there are no laws out there and it's a free-for-all. If you suspect someone of doing something illegal, YOU REPORT IT TO THE POLICE and let them handle it. If my neighbor starts beating up his wife, I don't arrest him and throw him in my basement for 3 months as punishment, I call the fucking police.

But a host is different than a registrar. A host killing your account will not put you out of business. It is not stealing an asset you have without any legal proof. A host has much different legal liabilities than a registrar when it pertains to that stuff as well.

Nope... but internet time and law enforcement time are two different things... and honestly we don't know under what circumstances Directnic operated, so there you go. That Slick started this and within 24 hours sites he was linked to were dropping makes you wonder a little bit, no?

As for stealing an asset, prove theft. Sex.com was a lesson for everyone on the subject of domains.

Apples and oranges again.

So you would be ok with me padlocking the doors of the restaurant across the street because I think that their eggs gave me food poisoning? I mean the time it would take to call the city health officials, have them check out the place, test the stuff and so on is a long time. But me with a padlock is very fast.

Legal fund? From what I understand, the dude's pretty successful and there's no reason why he can't afford his own lawyer.

Are you STILL on this bullshit stuff? :winkwink:

Don't worry about times too much - time can be anything ya want, especially if it catches 200 fish as opposed to one.

Yet didn't have one at the time and has said he sees questionable material some of his links too. I'm = totally convinced this guy needs some SERIOUS legal advice before it's too late.

Maybe so, but why should anyone but him pay for it?

I agree with you whole heartedly.

Was that an understatement Peaches? :) Could not agree more and totally convinced that lad is not "aware" enough.

It's one of these troubling things I see about a high percentage of "adult webmasters" - they never suffered enough to get the significance of obscenity/legal issues - just bought a few computers and off they go :)

I've stated several times during this situation that more webmasters need to treat this as a business and not a hobby. Slick should have had an attorney when they first started especially dealing with TGPs and being as "successful" as he it.

Usually the reponses are "You're just DirectNic seed", lol.

Since I am familiar with the case, I'll point out that "Casey" was careful to keep his webcam business and his relationship separate, not allowing "Kyle" to be in any way exposed to or involved with his adult website until Kyle turned 18.

Also, Casey & Kyle's relationship was lawful in Massachusetts, as they were within 4 years of age of each other. FreeCasey.Com carries information and discussion related to Casey's case, as well as others whose prosecution was brought about by Justin Berry.
