"There is no benefit for anyone to be gained through domain seizures. It's just another gateway to censorship."
See, that's where you lose me. If you take a moderate position, like "the benefits of keeping domains free outweigh the benefits of domain seizures", you might have a point.
But saying "there is no benefit for anyone" [emphasis mine] is clearly, demonstrably false. If a website contains instructions on making bombs, there is some benefit in taking it down. If a website contains lists of hitmen for hire, there is some benefit in taking it down. Even if the website only contains copyrighted material, there is some benefit to someone (the copyright holders) in taking it down.
You can stick to your "censorship is always always always evil" stance, but you'll likely find few people willing to seriously consider it.
