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?
Read Directnic's TOS/AUP. You'll find Directnic, as well as most registrars reserve the right to suspend questionable/offensive domains, especially if those domains contain illegal content. Basically, those domains are making Directnic look bad.
