The best way I guess is to say that the thumbs I saw made anything sexed ever did look quite normal. These were beyond the realm of bad taste into the realm of appearing quite blatantly illegal, the type of stuff that years ago made me stop surfing alt.binaries.

There is no defense of them.

They needed to come down and I could care less who's feet got stepped on in he process.

I'm not defending them.. I just would like to see them. Are we talking now about thumbs of underage-looking girls? Or sick sexual acts? I am inciting discussion and simply offering other opinions and outlooks. What I saw MYSELF wasn't offensive/illegal on a general scale, I would LOVE to see what you saw for myself too so I can put the word out, so to speak.

Stop being so convinced I'm on a "side" here and see that I am simply presenting more food for thought. No situation is what it seems on the surface, there are always MULTIPLE factors contributing to a conclusion.

My only fear in the situation is the implications for the fuure. Who's to say it will stop at teen? With the current political environment in the US and the world, MY biggest concern is that if people give the inch, the government (and others like registrars) will ASSUME the mile. It's not so much about content (I am as disgusted with CP as you are), it's about the principle of the issue at heart. THe way things were handled could open the path for a lot more problems in the future for people who are legitimate as well as illegitimate, if you catch my meaning.

"There is no defense of them."

There is always a defense. Even OJ was entitled to that. This is a question of ethics. Things are not always as they appear. Responsiblity is sometimes misplaced. There are principles of British Common Law that we all should live by. Otherwise we have cross burnings, book burnings, and lynch mobs.
I am saying jumping to conclusions leads to misjudgements.
So are you part of the mob or are you for free speech and the rule of law?

The difference is, that they are not suffering a business closure. Nor are they making any kind of defense of said actions. They are the ones that appear to be acting as judge and jury. If there is pressure being applied, then they should be singing this loudly because it is not the appropriate way of dealing with the situation. If this is a business decision, well shame on them. Could you suggest other options?

I don't think you could convince me even for ONE second that if this SAME thing happened in a way that COULD potentially directly affect your own business (and honestly, this can open the pandora's box on ALL adult, as if anyone would simply stop at teen) that you wouldn't take a personal interest in the way things went down. You may be a developer now, but you've run sites in the past. How would your opinion of DirectNIC's actions be different if it was you it was affecting?

OK, here is a Free Speech Coalition opinion....excerpts....

"First Amendment attorney and Free Speech Coalition Chairman Jeffrey Douglas said the ID request is unprecedented, and more importantly, a violation of privacy laws. According to Douglas, the request is illegal, and also could have a chilling effect on the free speech of webmasters that deal in legal teen content.

“This is a blatant and absolute violation of privacy laws,” Douglas told XBIZ. “There’s absolutely no legal liability for the registrar if underage models appear on a website. DirectNIC is an officious intermeddler.”

Upon receiving a complaint of child pornography, there are legal courses of action for directNIC to take, Douglas said. Since it has no legal right to obtain personally identifiable information from the website’s models, the company should have alerted the proper legal authorities, but instead it decided to take the law into its own hands. "


"“The bottom line is that if [directNIC] received a complaint about child porn, there are a numerous avenues for them to report it to the proper legal authorities,” Douglas said. “DirectNIC has no remote prayer to legally justify their request. They are licensed to provide a service — not to police content. I would think that upon hearing this, most adult companies would transfer their domains [away from directNIC] immediately.”

"Douglas continued, “Again, under federal law they have no right to these documents, so now they have no protection from civil liability. They are immune from policing content under the law, but now by doing so they have created liability. DirectNIC is lawlessly intruding into their business.”

And the DirectNic Response:

"According to directNIC General Counsel David W. Nance, upon receiving a warranted complaint of child porn, the company takes action by either immediately shutting down the domain or conducting an investigation.

“In most cases when there is a confirmed report of child porn, directNIC takes immediate action and shuts down the domain names because it is blatantly obvious that the customer is offering child porn,” Nance told XBIZ. “However, not every case is clear cut. The letter was intended to notify the customer of the potential issue that was reported to directNIC. This does not mean that the domains contain child porn; it only means that an investigation was commenced — i.e., we want to make sure that we do not facilitate the trading of child porn online.”

Hmmm. Are we at the tin foil stage over what Serge is doing yet?

I would have thought that the message difference was messages that had been marked deleted (not actually deleted, but flagged for deletion in the database by the script) That is what is usually the case on the boards I have done database work for. It all depends on whether the database is set to delete immediately or keep them marked for recall if rollback is turned on.

For once I think my opinion on a subject is very important.

If you check out the sites for Royal Cash all but one is in the Teen Niche. We refer to them as 'True Teen niche' because the girls look like teens and not strippers in schoolgirl uniforms.

As a company we are also aware that for some reason people might yell and scream and talk all sorts of craziness about the content we have. It is all legal, 2257 compliant and we have been very public about the fact that we will indeed give out redacted IDs to US based webmasters who choose to host our content for promotional purposes.

My opinion is that Directnic fucked up... But once that fuck up became such a huge public issue, they felt they had to stand behind it.

as for someone looking at these images and feeling they should have been taken down immediately...

tough shit for you, sorry your sensitive to images, but your sensitivity does not make the image illegal.

I also write reviews on the side. I have seen sites that offended me very deeply, ones where girls are choked to tears, have their faces spit in, slapped and called names and a host of other foul expressions of sexuality (in my opinion foul) and I detested those sites. That doesn't mean that they should be removed. I have no idea if treating your models like that is illegal or not. I imagine there was a release and full disclosure to the models prior to the shoot I just know I found it very difficult to watch girls having penises shoved down their throats until they vomitted.

We have two issues here;
Legal Ones (directnic should have done what they were supposed to)
Moral Ones (directnic should have left this the fuck alone)

I dont wish any ill will towards Mike AI or any of his companies really but in this case the owner of those sites should sue the fuck out of him and I would keep my fingers crossed that they would win.

From all accounts, several of these girls looked WAY below 18 - and not just "looked". DirectNic did exactly what they had the rights to do per thier TOS. Yes, they could have turned him directly over to the police and Slick would be coming up with bail and more than likely be a registered sex offender once everything came out in the wash. But instead they locked the domains (so if he WAS a CP trafficker, he couldn't move them and disappear) and contacted him and gave him time to clear his name.

SLICK took this to the boards, not DirectNic. Slick then gave 100's of webmasters the opportunity to point out that many of his thumbs/trades looked VERY, VERY underage. Now all that's going to be there, in writing, forever. Had he dealt with DirectNic directly, no one would have known anything.

From what I've read, Google has removed at least one of his sites. Now, are you going to boycott Google too? Did they overreach their bounds?

I've seen time and time again where it's state specific if you "own" the domain or not. Since DirectNic is loaded with lawyers and probably has more contact with legal jurisdictions that any of us will EVER have contact with, I'm going make a wild ass assumption that they were within their legal right to take down the sites in question.

If not, Slick can sue them - simple as that.

Doesn't matter from my point of view. DN has every right to run their business as they see fit.

Same as you.

I am sure there are trades and gallery submissions that you reject just because. Not for a definitive reason necessarilly, or at least one you could not put into words.

I am sure you also sometimes approve some that later on you go kill because you feel like you were bs'd or whatever.

MY point was that him even having a public SUSPICION of CP on his site/trades was brought in by him - not DirectNic.

And now Google's removed at least one of his sites, so yeah, I'm betting there was SOMETHING on there that shouldn't have been. Of course, had the dude never come screaming to GFY and dealt with DirectNic and an attorney from day one, I'd never know this information.

What, just like Denny's? You remember when they got their asses kicked for refusing to serve black people.? Hell you write that into your tos and see how far it gets.

As for suing, that is just a typical litagous American response. It is expensive, sometimes wasteful and mostly the one with the most bucks wins. And in this case, I am sure we can figure out which side has the most horsepower, so that is a non starter. That is unless the FSC picks it up and then the fireworks could light up.

And until someone challenged it in court, they got away with it. Right or wrong.

It takes a court challenge to establish this shit. If Slick has had his civil rights trampled as much as everyone says, his lawyer would have had this in court, getting an injunction back last wednesday or thusday when all the shit went down originally.

So, he either has a suck ass lawyer or he doesn't have a leg to stand on in his lawyer's eyes.

Why does everything have to be challenged in court? Like I said, money seems to trump what is right in many instances. OJ for instance. (just my opinion btw)
Maybe he can't afford a lawyer, but if he can and he has a suck ass lawyer, why should what is right always have to be determined by lawyers?

[QUOTE=rhetorical;Getting away with it is not the issue.[/QUOTE]

Only in your utopia is that true. In the legal world, getting away with it. unfortunately, is almost always the issue.

Should GW be impeached for the way he got the US into Iraq. Should he, probably. Will he, not on your life.

Should Ollie North be walking around free? No way in hell. Is he? Yeppirs.

And OJ is another case of it.

In a country run by the rule of law, only the lawyers win outright. A lawyer is a fancy ass con man for the most part and the one that can woo the court or a jury the best wins.

But, in reference to getting into a court and get an injunction, it costs $75.00 (or somewhere in that area, it was $75 in 1986 when I was involved in one) to get in front of a federal judge and request an injunction against something like the TOS being enforced. If it has even a crooked leg to stand on, a 5 or 10 day injunction will be imposed almost for sure.

If I know this, I think any lawyer offering advice in this biz would know this.

I have to agree with ya on that one. Think of all the people you've sat down and broken bread with in the past 3 years and how many of those people wouldn't be willing to do it today.

Cory's the only one on MY list - that I know of, lol.

2006 was quite enlightening for me.

I don't think it was - in the right way. IMO.

Lord knows I've made enemies through the years, but my livelyhood no longer depends on getting along with people (wow, that was a funny comment, but it's true). Just like when all I had was freesites, if everyone hated my guts, I was still getting paychecks. When I was at WEG I had to be nice, but 99.9% of the time I liked the people I was being nice to. Now that I'll hopefully be doing medical coding and real estate investing, people don't need to like me. Though I'll do everything I can just because that's me ;)

You're in a position where you can catch a LOT more flies with honey than with vinegar. You CAN be a well behaved nice guy - I've seen it. Being that more often could put more $$$ on the table. You and I aren't that far away from retirement years. The more in the bank now, the better off we're going to be in our 70's (though the bank I refinanced my house with has now sent me 2 letters a week about mortgage life insurance so I'm beginning to think they know something I don't.......).

I'm not saying kiss the asses of those that don't deserve to be kissed, but playing nice on the school yard isn't selling yourself out. :okthumb:

They have a saying at AEBN - "We got this".

Thank you for your support.

Maybe a better person than you, but not a better person than Hellpuppy. Or perhaps he hacked in Serge's site for you. Either way, you nosed yourself into somewhere you knew you weren't wanted without permission of the users. I've written some things there recently with the knowledge you have access. I hope you take them to heart.

I do so enjoy coming in from a nice holiday outing to find that someone who claims to want to be a friend has tried to toss me under a bus.

Or I guess this post is supposed to be ok, since you apparently edited one later that would've likely been much worse.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Oh brother, lol. Cross me off the "friend" list (when was the last time we saw each other?) if when you and Gonzo, whose supposedly been your friend forever, make posts that clearly state you've "used a skeleton key" and "looked under blinds" on a private site and when *I* respond it's throwing you under the bus. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyone who posts there knows you and/or Gonzo have/had access and have known for quite some time. It's obvious and you knew that. YOU'RE the ones who brought it out here, therefore throwing yourselves under the bus: I just pointed it out. :whistling

Funny how your SMSs differ so from your "public" posts. And you wonder why there's a "trust issue", lol.

"make posts that clearly state you've "used a skeleton key" and "looked under blinds" on a private site"

They never clearly stated that. They just mentioned that it would be a method. Again, Peaches, this is what you do. Spread insinuations as truth. You did it to me. I have seen you do it to others. I think maybe you actually believe your lies sometimes. Now re read the posts and tell us all where it clearly says what you insinuate. Since peaches is clearly not reading my posts (not)...could someone quote this to see if she can tap dance out of this one?

You know, what really truly pains me here isn't the issue at hand. It's that I have to admit something, that I cant believe I have to type, but I'm a big boy, so I'll do it and even increase the font:

12clicks was right.

You've gone so far off your rocker that board fights are more important to you than maintaining any friendship.

I guess I'm the last to see it because lord knows I'm one to always try to believe in the best intentions of others where friends are concerned and stick by 'em even if I personally disagree.

I've done nothing but take the high road with you even while you've seemed a tad nutty and even venomous. Even here, all I did was sarcastically point out you tried to throw my ass under the bus. But you're more interested in being "correct" on the board and winning the fight than anything else.

Hellpuppy, I'm one of the CRAZY people that thinks you should say the same thing on the boards as you do off the boards about someone,

You sit there and agree with me via ICQ and SMS that this isn't the big deal it was made out to be when you received 20 messages about it from God knows who, then come here and act like I've betrayed you in some way.

This is your buddy's board - I guess he needed the page views.

Jace, you know absolutely NOTHING about ANY situation about me except what you've heard from others. You don't know me. Actually, there's only a handful of people IN this biz who know me and none of them have posted in this thread.

And agreeing with 12Clicks. Wow. That's truly about as low as anyone can go.

Just out of curiousity do you mean know you in the biblical sense? Because havent you sat down with meals with Gonzo and HellPuppy in the past and had a friendship with them?

I never claimed to, did I?

I just mostly know what I have seen on the boards, and to be honest, you are pretty much the next Confucy...fight fight fight, bitch bitch bitch, whine whine whine

it just gets old, and if this IS the way you are in person, I would have to put a plastic bag over your head just to rid the world of your bitterness

and just out of curiosity, why would you make a point of saying how you were exactly the same off the boards as you are on, then go and say I only know you from the boards? if you are the same, then what is the difference?

Yeah, I responded sarcastically to being thrown under the bus, told ya i did. And also told ya I considered it no biggie and as far as I was concerned over.

But you HAD to have the last word. Couldn't just let it be, you had to be right.

Whatever, I feel somehow liberated. I've been trying not to step on your toes for weeks while you seemed to be coming back to your senses and having to analyze what I say to make sure you didn't read anything into it not intended. It's a relief not to have worry about it anymore. And I wish you all the best.
