This isn't US government censorship. This is a foreign company that was nailed in a US court and then very publically laughed off the judgement against them.

The confiscation of domains after a civil court judgement isnn't anything new. It's been going on for awhile in things like copyright infringement cases where the guilty party is not capable of paying the judgement.

If Spamhaus can't pay the millions they were ordered to pay, then it's time to seize property. In this case, their domain name is the easiest thing to get at.
