This whole directnic locking down a domain thing

You cannot blame anyone for doing what they feel is in the best interest of their company, especially when it's in their tos. I'm too lazy to look, but I suspect that most registrars have similar policies. Keep in mind that none of us actually own our domains.

I don't think that anyone in mainstream is going to rule against them, it's one of those 'save the children' issues.

Isn't Mike AI one of the owners of DirectNic? Maybe someone can get him to visit this thread and comment.

All my domains are with DirectNic and won't be going anywhere else...certainly not for this event.

I did see the site in question and even though the content was probably legal (it was from known sponsors), the way it was presented was beyond questionable. And several of the trade links ended up being shut down by the Danish govt for CP. Frankly, this guy was really pushing the envelope big time...it's not a surprise that it caught someone's attention.

As to the privacy issue, DN requested redacted IDs that only showed photo and DOB. Which frankly probably wouldn't have proven much, given that the images could have been produced at any time.

However, DN ended up shutting everything down early, which happened to be about the same time that the Danish authorities started shutting down the trades. Related? Probably...

I won't even get onto my rant about folks that push the boundaries, by making legal girls look much MUCH less than legal...then promoting them as such. This "do anything for a buck" mentality makes us all look like worse than the pond scum the religious right already thinks we are

Mike AI has commented on it at the Zoo and I think hes said all he can at this point.

Its also a HOT thread on Oprano with a few cockholsters trying to pull in issues of spyware.

What I find interesting in all of this is no one has named the sponsors.

Feel free to post them on Oprano if anyone knows. I will risk the loss of advertising revenue to make others aware of potential issues using their content.
