noip.me got seized as well? ".me is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Montenegro." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.me How did this happen? Since when did Montenegro fall under U.S. jurisdiction? I thought my personal domain (andrewkelley.me) was safe, but now I'm not so sure.

ICANN (the people in charge of DNS) is based in the US.

  ICANN is not "in charge of DNS". IANA, part of ICANN, manages the root zone. That's it. The top level domains are delegated to their respective organization. IANA could, in theory, re-delegate an entire top level domain, but everyone would notice and route around the problem.
