Just seen this , seems a knee jerk to Domain Name Seizure Bill in the US.

forget retail for a minute
what about real freedom of speech and current affairs, social issues, political sites etc

just checked and wikileaks.org is with dynadot
you can bet the U.S will try and seize that and close down with their new 'powers'

im all for the bad boys being closed down, all for it but their has to be some sort of hearing, this is against all democratic laws otherwise. the police screw up too often and get their facts wrong more often than not
look at most of the major high profile cases of recent years, they have got the vast majority of them wrong!
not exactly confidence inspiring
