There are no "people who run these services" in the case of blockchain name resolution, though. There is (usually) a single person who possesses the private key necessary to update the records for a domain - if they find out who that is, they're welcome to use legal compulsion to force them to act.
* I say "usually" because more complex permissions schemes are possible with Bitcoin Script. m-of-n in particular I could see being very useful; it could allow individuals to update some parts of the record but not all - for instance, make it mathematically impossible to abandon the domain or move where it's pointed, but still possible to update contact information.
