We do remember, don't we, that the domain that started this discussion were shut down by Verisign, the registry, not a registrar?

what's super fun here is that often in conversations with registries about domains used for malware/spam/etc there's a conversation about: "but we can't just shutdown a domain, we need the registrar to do that... legal/contractual restraints prohibit us..." interesting that in THIS case the registry just took the action, was the domain registered through their registrar arm? -chris
