Put yourself in DNs shoes....
That's NOT true, a Registra isn't responsible to check all the Domains
they've sold everyday.
The site owner and the hosting co who's responsible for people
being able to view the site are..
I can understand if the site got busted by the Feds which would
lean toward some proof of a criminal offence the domain could be lost
or pulled by ICANN who's the final authority for the domain but not NOT
by a Registra unless it was a violation of their TOS which said nothing
about this the other day.
A Domain like a Toll Free phone # are NOT owned by anyone but the
Government for Toll Free #s and ICANN for domains.
You have a Toll Free # with Sprint and drop it and it goes back into a pool where any phone comp can get it, a domain dropped goes back to ICANN
where ANY Registra can get it for you.. (Altho they are starting to hold them and resell them because an dropped domain usually has some traffic.)
Like GoDaddy has TDnam where they sell or auction dropped domains.
