Actually, come to think of it I wouldnt be suprised
Actually, there is a law about domain names misleading surfers into viewing obscenity or misleading minors into viewing porn:

I dont know the domain names regarding this case, but somehow he obviously violated their TOS with putting that content on his sites.
I also think there is more behind this story, maybe some law enforcement put pressure on the registrar or they got complains.
