Only USA should have the power to seize domains. ICE FTW! Merika! Fuck Yeah!

  > Otherwise many countries would see DNS as something worth controlling It's funny. I think the irony was lost in qwerta's comment.

  Even at ICE's worst they only grab a handful of domains at a time. Trying to grab an entire TLD at once is insanity.

  Has ICE ever seized a TLD? Could a registrar that operates outside the US not be compelled by that nations laws w/r/t the domains under it's control? Because as far as I'm aware, that's how ICE does in the US. Not saying I like it, but I don't know that your characterization is accurate.

    ICE don't compel the registrar, they compel the registry normally; in the case of .com and .net that is Verisign.

      Oops, that's what I meant. I tend to mix those up.
