1. I didn't see Michael saying they extended the time, Slick said a letter from DirectNic's lawyer said they extended the time
2. I strongly suspect something else is up. DirectNic is loaded with attorneys. They aren't going to do something to put themselves in a bad legal situation.

I really don't think he would lie about that

I don't think anything else is up at all, I think there is a serious lack of communication between mike and his employees and they basically just ruined someones day

i will agree with most though and say the content on those tgp's was WAY questionable, still I don't think it should be in the hands of the registrar to shut the sites down while the site owner is trying to resolve things with you

um.......ok?

Highly interesting. If a company acts like it bears responsibility for the content, then it makes them legally liable, yes? Regardless of previously stated laws?

So they're going to start policing all their accounts, I'm assuming. Is this them taking the high road of "self regulation" or is there more behind it?

Beats me. But can you tell me if Lars has been freed from the clutches of that evil Zango company?

I guess I am going to bow out of the debate for now until Mike posts something or let's someone know something

there is obviously more to this than is being said

I truly hope there is because on the surface, it is a book burning.

OK, here is a possible scenario. A Canadian registers his domain with Directnic. Directnic decides he is posting dodgy stuff so demands id's or Directnic will lock up his domain and virtually shut him down.
Here is the cunundrum.
The Canadian government says that is illegal and the Canadian citizen could be prosecuted for doing what Directnic demands.
What is this "innocent" person supposed to do in this case? Roll over and provide the id and possibly go to jail? Or get shut down because someone at Directnic has decided that it is illegal content.
This is a pandora's box of ethical issues.

I still want to know which sponsors have that questionable teen content.

For directnic to get lawyered up about it makes me wonder.

Jace, why are you saying they're just covering their asses? They are merely the registrant of the name, they have absolutely no legal responsibility in what the domain is used for.

This is total horseshit and it's illegal. I knew MikeAI was a Republican, but I sure didn't expect him to go from being a pornographer to a fucking zealot.

Just like reformed smokers. They like it just fine while they're doing it, but preach against it with a fervor when they quit.

This is the same as the bullshit with Crissy Moran. She went from being a porn whore to a zealot overnight.

p.s. Why the hell does anyone pay DirectNic $15 a year when they can use GoDaddy and pay $8?

I still think that any registrar that feels uncomfortable with a domain it has registered can a: report it to the proper authorities and b: let the "offender" move on to another registrar. This flies in the face of "innocent until proven guilty".

America is becoming one great paranoid witch hunt of late. You gotta watch what you write. You gotta watch what you say. Or someone might turn you in. It feels like the Soviet Union.
Can you say McCarthy kids?
