We do remember, don't we, that the domain that started this discussion were shut down by Verisign, the registry, not a registrar?
interesting that in THIS case the registry just took the action, was the domain registered through their registrar arm?
They haven't had a registrar arm since they spun off Network Solutions in 2002.
thanks... so, in this case, why did they take this action? 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?) 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? -chris
