I think the point that you are missing is that HE is not running the gambling site. He is just running an affiliate program. Case in point. I run porn websites but they are sites pointing you to sign up on other sites that are run by the real porn website. Some are white label and ran on the porn websites servers even though it appears you are on my domain.
I am not required to keep the records with regards to the models, I simply have to state somewhere where those records are kept (the holder of the record being the actual porn site)
Since NICK himself is not accepting payments etc but rather being paid a set amount from the gambling website he's an affiliate for he's doing nothing illegal. Affiliate marketing is not illegal. Period.
Well I didn't know that you were Perry Fucking Mason. Why didn't you say so?
Tell you what. Why don't you affiliate with a child porn website? You'll just be linking to the real website, so they can't come after you for distributing child porn, right? You'd just be an affiliate marketer!
Guess what. You'd be guilty of distributing child porn. "B-b-b-but . . . I just found customers for the porn guy! I never even touched the kiddie porn." Yeah. That'll work like a charm.
Nick knows that there are legal issues with online gambling. He knows that the sites he shills for transfers funds in violation of the law. Nick knows this, but he continues to gain customers for the casinos in exchange for money. (He of course, in his Matlock-like legal wisdom, claims that poker isn't a game of chance, so it isn't covered by the law.)
Like you, Nick doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. He is a dumbass, just like you are. (You aren't as bad as he is, but you are a dumbass none the less.) I'll admit that it is possible that the courts will rule that he has no criminal liability. However, acting on an untested legal theory when you are a convict on parole is just plain stupid.
Stupidity is tiresome. Because you and Nick are stupid, the both of you are tiresome. Now fuck your legal views, fuck Nick, and fuck you.
