today i received this email from web1000.com support:
"Dear Web1000 Customer:
As you probably are aware, President Bush recently signed the ?Amber Alert?
bill. Although the bill mostly addressed issues of child abduction, there is a
section as follows:
(a) Whoever knowingly uses a misleading domain name with the intent to deceive a
person into viewing obscenity on the Internet shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.
(b) Whoever knowingly uses a misleading domain name with the intent to deceive a
minor into viewing material that is harmful to minors on the Internet shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 4 years, or both.
(c) For the purposes of this section, a domain name that includes a word or
words to indicate the sexual content of the site, such as `sex' or `porn', is
not misleading.
Up until now, we have allowed webmasters to create a wide range of sites,
including those involving nudity, across our range of domain names. However, in
light of this new statute, we are now prohibiting the display of any nudity on
any of the following top level domain names:
allfeminism.com
attorney-site.com
bestfamilysite.com
bestmusicpages.com
candyfrom.us
cartoonhit.com
cat-on-line.com
cpa-site.com
docspages.com
dogcountries.com
dognations.com
dog-on-line.com
drspages.com
edogden.com
foronlinegames.com
greatcookery.com
greatrecipepages.com
jesussave.us
mycatshow.com
mydogshow.com
mylawsite.net
onlinepulpit.com
petitionthegovernment.com
politicalemergency.com
power-emergency.com
prayingfor.us
realisticpolitics.com
schoolreference.com
songsfrom.us
television-series.com
If you have a domain name that includes one of the foregoing domains (for
example, mysite.bestfamilysite.com), you must verify that there is no nudity
whatsoever on your site.
Because this change reduces the pool of names available for sites including
nudity, we are balancing this change by also setting our system to recognize
each of the following sexually- or nudity-oriented domain names as always
permitting legal nudity:
adultnations.com
alladultfemale.com
alladultmale.com
allbisexual.com
allbreast.com
allmanpages.com
allmendirect.com
allsexpages.com
allwomanweb.com
bedclip.com
chokesondick.com
dampgirl.com
dampgirls.com
deepestfetish.com
drenchedface.com
drenchedlips.com
eroticountry.com
freeadultparty.com
gayadultxxx.com
gaytaboo.com
japannudes.net
labialand.com
myhardman.com
sexheroes.com
smutstars.com
soakinglips.com
taboocountry.com
totallyboning.us
totallyfucking.us
vaginasisters.com
xxx.com
xxxnations.com
If you want to register a new domain name, please visit

In addition, please review our acceptable use policy. Any site in violation of
this policy (which may change from time to time) may not be hosted with us. Our
acceptable use policy, as of the time of this mailing, prohibits the following:
-- CHILD PORNOGRAPHY is required, BY LAW, to be reported to the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children. Furthermore, it is our policy that, in
additional to the required reporting, we voluntarily forward all information we
have to law enforcement without the need for a subpoena or any other formal
process. This allows law enforcement to respond more quickly, before the trail
gets cold. We maintain extensive access logs with IP addresses, access times,
and other information. This is not an anonymous hosting service, and we will
report you. If you wish to report child pornography found on a web1000 web
site, please email both
[email protected] and
[email protected].
-- Any sexually oriented depictions -- graphic, textual or otherwise -- of
people who appear to be under 18 years old (including those who are adults but
appear to be minors, or child-morphed photos of adults) is strictly forbidden.
This is true even if the images are of clothed children, so long as there is
some sexual overtone to the pictures individually, the website as a whole, or to
the method of promoting the website. Posting these materials will result in our
making law enforcement reporting because, by posting the images in violation of
our terms of service, you are engaging in theft of our service.
-- It is illegal to knowingly use a misleading domain name with the intent to
deceive a person into viewing obscenity, or to knowingly use a misleading domain
name with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material that is harmful to
minors. You may not in any way use a misleading domain name.
-- Under federal law, a person is a felon, subject to prison time, if he
"knowingly advertises, promotes, presents, or describes the visual depiction
with the intent to cause any person to believe that the material is, or
contains, a visual depiction of an actual minor engaging in sexually explicit
conduct." Doing so is also in violation of our terms of service.
-- Explicit cartoon depictions of sex are not permitted, as it is simply too
difficult, if not impossible, to determine whether such depictions are intended
to portray minors.
-- Materials that are not constitutionally protected (i.e. obscene materials).
Obscene material includes anything that would be obscene in San Jose, California
or in the jurisdiction you are located in. Although this is not a complete list,
some of the things that often qualify as obscene include the depiction of
defecation, bestiality, rape, or murder.
-- Unlawful activities such as unauthorized distribution or copying of
copyrighted photos, materials or software, violation of trademark or other
intellectual property rights, violation of U.S. export restrictions, fraud, the
solicitation of illegal gambling or prostitution, or other practices which may
be considered illegal.
-- PageJacking, which includes stealing the look and feel of a third party web
site that you do not own with the intention of defrauding consumers into
believing that your web site is officially associated with that third party web
site.
-- Net mail abuse, including message delivery considered to be spamming,
mailbombing (sending numerous and very similar messages to the same e-mail
addresses), trolling (generating outrageous messages with the purpose of
generating greater response), subscribing others to a mailing list without
permission, posting off-topic messages to news groups or discussion groups to
generate web traffic, or distribution of bulk e-mail software. There are
definitely other practices either unlawful or considered harassment, and Web1000
reserves the right to determine what constitutes net mail abuse.
-- The posting of defamatory, scandalous, or private information about a person
without their consent, or intentionally inflicting emotional distress.
-- The posting of materials intended to harm another person or group, such as
racist hate sites, and/or the posting of materials detailing methods of harming
persons or property, such as bomb making instructions.
-- Misuse of system resources, including but not limited to, knowingly employing
programs which consume excessive CPU time or storage space or the resale of
access to CGI scripts installed on our servers.
-- The linking of your graphics or data files from an html page not maintained
on Web1000, the use of Web1000 to store data files, or the storage of
misidentified files.
