Godaddy has addressed things like this on Bob (the CEO's) podcast. Basically their stance is that they do not limit anyone's free speech in any ways unless their legal department rules their content, etc is against the law or they receive a court order.

So in this case, I say Directnic is doing the right thing. Until the sites content/practices break the law then they should let it be.

hard to say. i work @ godaddy and know first hand they can fuck with your domains if they feel like it even though they say they are not police-ing the internet. its in their terms or service. i heard direct nic was the same way...

what if it was on a more personal level like think of the person you love most and if the domain was "god-hates-insert-name.com" ,

lets say it was your 80 year old christian grandmothers name :winkwink:

with that logic, you could arrest anyone who reports cp in newspapers etc for inciting the crime..

i think they are scumbags but i dont see anything wrong with them letting those domains be registered.

woj 06-04-2008 04:41 PM

Nah, it's not their job, once you start picking what domains your allow and which ones you don't, you open yourself up to a lot of drama...

pornpf69 06-04-2008 04:45 PM

can you imagine if they started forbidding PORN RELATED domain names?
you can register anything you want...

I understand how you think Smokey...as a programmer like me you're always in "logic" mode.

Unfortunately free speech can not be explained with simple logic. Its a belief, a culture, a way of life....intended to protect all of the other rights by itself.

Think of it as a necessary driver for the operating system we can democracy. If we make changes to it, or fuck with it AT ALL, the OS will become unstable.

If your not offended once in a while you dont live in a free country.

I agree with this negro.

I had several hundred domains with Directnic 5 years ago. Today I have none.

I don't know another registrar that is as fucked up as those wankers, for so many reasons.
