DirectNic Demands SlicksNetwork.com Hand Over Model IDs

[lukeford]

In a move that could indicate further scrutiny by domain registrars, DirectNic has demanded that TGP operator SlickNetwork.com hand over model IDs on all performers it suspects are underage.

Now this should be interesting. Curiouser and curiouser.

Could there be a lot more driving behind this than anyone is aware of?

Directnic stepped up in my book as far as ethics go.

Businesswise... Im not sure if they didnt open a can of worms or not.

Yeah, this one is a bit of an odd move on the surface. I hate scammers, kiddie porn and whatever other trash they might be seeing on those sites. And I can appreciate the integrity of opting not to business with them.

But a bit of a risky move. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with a registrar appointing themselves to be the internet police.

I am on the fence with this now, while I can see the side that they are covering their asses, I don't like the fact that the email said "do this by monday or we shut your sites down"

regardless, there should be industry standard protocols in place for situations like this that all hosts/billers/registrars comply with when a issue arises

as it stands right now, like most of what we do, it is every man for himself

Ethics? I think not. This sucks. No trial. Just their decision as to what is illegal or not. Locking the account so they can't move on really is pretentious. Judge and jury. This is redneck justice....a lynch mob.
Isn't this the company that was accused of stealing "who is" inquiries? Come on folks. Don't you think there is an ulterior motive here?

and so it begins

even though Mike AI said he would extend the time in which Slick had to gather the ID's, his sites are all shut down now

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.
