Is this regarding gambling related domains? ... tried to hijack? The state of Kentucky basically already has - it's not over! That case is winding it's way through the courts. According to the latest articles, the owners must physically appear in court to stop the seizures.

On a related note, eNom (includes most NameCheap customers too, since they're an eNom reseller) has apparently stepped up suspending domains based on accusations alone from a site called LegitScript - NOT court order, but mere accusation is enough to be suspended at eNom / NameCheap.

And while it's easy to dismiss such suspensions as one-offs, see page 2 of that above thread and the link below - domain registrars are under pressure by the U.S. White House administration to voluntarily suspend domains for numerous reasons.
