thanks... so, in this case, why did they take this action?
When folks with guns and little sense of humor show up at your door with a sealed court ordered warrant relating to resources you have direct authority over, would you tell them to talk to a retailer for that resource? Oh, and don't forget VeriSign has a contract (cooperative agreement? whatever) involving the USG for the administration of COM/NET.
why didn't they push the action to the registrar? or did they and the registrar refused to comply? (potentially because the domains weren't violating a TOS?)
The registrar in question (GoDaddy) claims no one came to them and they had no idea what was going on (although that didn't stop them from blaming ICANN).
I suppose though, on the good side, we can expect the Verisign folks to now shutdown other domains we bring to their attention as malware/spamware/etc without protest?
