I get what they're trying to do, but
a) there are a lot more TLDs in the world than .com, .net, .org. So sites with a following, and a way to reach that following (twitter, Facebook etc) will quickly, and easily fall outside their grasp.
b) perhaps more concerning is the lack of due process. I get why they're frustrated, so because the owners are either outside their jurisdiction, or because they can't actually find the owners of the site, it's easiest to kill the DNS entry. Ineffective maybe, but at least they're seen to be doing _something_.
c) it's clearly better that 100 innocent sites should be closed than that a guilty one should keep its DNS entry.
While I get where they're coming from, I wonder where it ends? How long before they become a bug that needs to be worked around....
