Normally I agree with everything you have to say here, but you are missing the point on this one. In the case of Bodog losing their domain name they never showed up to defend themselves in court because they were afraid of being arrested upon entry into the US. Any company that used a US based registrar for their domain is in danger of having it turned over voluntarily.
The State of Kentucky can also sue for, say, all of the tax revenue they claim to lose from Kentucky citizens gambling overseas. They defendants (the gambling sites) never show to court for fear of being arrested, the State of Kentucky gets a judgment against them, and then moves to seize the domain name as an asset. That is what happened to Bodog.com in their case and it can happen again...
