Law enforcement does one of two things to "take down" a site: 1. Seize servers via an IP address 2. Seize a domain record itself and redirect it Both of these "attacks" are not possible with Tor hidden services, because a.) there is no IP associated with the hidden service (although Tor in theory is subject to traffic correlation) and b.) there is no domain record that can be redirected unless you actually have the corresponding private key since Tor hidden service addresses are the public component of that keypair.
