DirectNics legal rights in relation to its recent actions

[LadyMischief]

Guess it doesn't matter what the legal rights are or what anyone things. Looks like DirectNIC just axed a freehost and all their domains are in registrar-lock as well.

Should be interesting to see who's next.

All my domains are on REGISTER-LOCK. It's so no one can change them w/o my permission!

And did you even BOTHER to read this posted approx TWELVE HOURS AGO:

Sorry guys, it's not Directnic related.. Cogent had a fiber cut at 8:05am which isolated the Montreal network from the rest of the Net, it lasted ~15 hours!! What's unfortunate is we're in the process of turning up BGP sessions with our providers and a couple of days later this outage wouldn't have affected us.

Seriously........

Looks like I might have been mistaken. Ahh well my apologies. I think that the problem you seem to have with me is that I have a personal opinion on this that's very strong, and so do you. We will likely not agree, but I can see your points and hopefully you can see mine. I don't really care about DirectNIC, if any OTHER registrar was doing this (and apparently there was another), I would be just as worried. The whole thing happened under what seemed like a worthy cause, but the implications for the future could be bad for EVERYONE in the industry. You may not promote teen sites, Peaches, but teens aren't the only things that people can find offensive or have sites shut down for. Just about anything can be considered offensive depending on where you are and you know that. I am extricating myself from any further discussions because I am tired of running around in circles. If you people won't see (as you yourselves have said but seem not to observe personally) that there are TWO sides to the coin, and it's not my job to educate your perception. At least I can acknowledge that DirectNIC might have done what it thought was best. I don't think that you can acknowledge the potential damage their actions MAY have on future business. Let's hope you (or I) never have to worry about it.

This has nothing to do with teen sites, DirectNic or you. My problem is with ANYONE who throws things around like they're facts when they know nothing at all about what they're talking about. You made a very inflamatory post here w/o even READING THE DAMN THREAD.

And your comments on TOSs not being able to supersede law are just ignorant.

If DirectNic closed Slick's site down illegally then Slick can sue. Period, end of story.

Ya well we all make mistakes Peaches. Relax, you aren't immune to humanity either.

As for my comments on TOS's, actually, I'm not ignorant. If someone put something that was against a law on the books as a term, it would not be enforcable, but as Sarretah clarified, it would have to go to court to be deemed as such. Still, the point does remain.

I agree, if they took the site down illegally, he can sue. It seems they are all working on things so I hope it comes out well, I just hope that other, less REASONABLE registrars don't get a bug and decide to start locking down domains.

"My problem is with ANYONE who throws things around like they're facts when they know nothing at all about what they're talking about"

This would be Peaches modus operandi. She did it here for years. Now she is jumping all over LM for a mistake. When things happen this quickly, mistakes will happen. But Peaches hammering LM over it is just plain ludicrous. Peaches arguments are thin at best, so its time to sling shit again.
