So a friend of me from Denmark has over 200 domains registered with DirectNic. This weekend suddenly all his domains were placed on hold, without any warning. He mailed them to ask what's up, and this is what they replied:

We have determined that your domains are illegal under US federal law [U.S. v. Extreme Associates, Inc., 431 F.3d 150 C.A.3 (Pa.),2005. December 08, 2005 (Approx. 12 pages)]and the state laws of a majority of the states of the Union, including Louisiana and Virginia.

Since when can domains be illegal? I know content can be illegal/obscene, but I always thought that as long as you host it in a country where it's legal, it shouldn't be a problem?
Most of his domains were .com and .net domains (scat, rape, beast, etc.). I know this stuff is not legal in the US, but still, can a domain registry just take your domains like that?
