That's because there's a world outside GFY. As an example. SICcash had a domain shut down by Tucows. Why? Because it was Shawinternet.com and Shaw Cable company in Canada decided it was too much like their name. No judges involved, no FBI, registrar just shut it down.

SICcash later won the domain back but it cost them tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees - none of which is recoverable (Brad's a Jew - if he could get it back, he would!).

Domains get put on hold and canceled all the time. Just not everyone brings it to GFY, or even reads GFY....or even knows GFY exist
