Yeah, like I've posted before, this is actually US gov SOP. The US government asserts super-jurisdiction over .COM/.NET/.ORG and will seize such domains at will [1] [2] [3], which should make every non-American think twice about using those TLD's for anything. Your only recourse will be the American justice system that you will have to navigate as a foreigner. Meanwhile, ccTLD's are under the jurisdiction of their respective countries. Of course, the US is still ultimately in control of the root zone, but I consider messing with that the nuclear option after which the US will surely have to hand it over to the UN as has been discussed at times.
