Mark,

Directnic should be policing the content on the domains, especially when something is reported to them, when their company could come under investigation from the Feds. Just as any hosting company will investigate content hosted by them.

Just like you or i can refuse to let an affiliate to promote our sites, Directnic has the right to refuse someone to use their service, even after they have paid for the domain.

You mean to tell me Mark that if someone reported one of your affiliates to you for having kiddy porn on one of their domains, you wouldnt do anything about it?

In fact, even last year i remember there being some threads on GWW where reports of CP came up, and guess what, the posters were told to do the following..

1) Report it to the feds.
2) Report it to the host.
3) Report it to the registrar.
4) Report it to ASACP.

I like how this entire industry can turn at the flip of a coin, all it takes is for some moron to shout 'freedom of speech' and everyone gets their panties in a wad.

Fact of the matter is this, DirectNic have every right to ask their clients for whatever they want, its part of the agreement we all agree to when purchasing a domain (not just at DirectNic BTW).

Ive used DirectNic as a registrar for many years, and ill continue to use them for many more, this shows me, as one of their existing clients, they are looking out for their continued long-term business, and in the process, mine.

Regards,

Lee
