I just took a look at Namecheap's domain registration agreement - the part about spamming and phishing is pretty standard, but the "moral" part ... wow, why would anyone register names there. Glad I never did - something about Namecheap never seemed right.
With the info you just posted, it's likely you had no real alternative other than taking the content / links down as demanded, at least temporarily, and transfer the domain name away to another registrar...
Have you tried transferring out the domain? Imho, that's really the only effective recourse you have at this point.
You will need to get the authcode (I think .tv uses them too) and get the domain unlocked. However, because .TV is a ccTLD, ICANN transfer out policy will be of no help - hence, it's possible Namecheap may refuse to facilitate a transfer out request.
