That means a unilateral decision ( by private enterprise, in this instance). Should private enterprise be granted the right to these decisions? Expediency is one thing but "killing" of a domain (or domain execution without trial to put in in the colloquial)? Is this is the right thing to do and will the next unilateral decision be correct also?
Had there been some issue of speech involved -- possible libel or questionable content sexual text speech -- would you want someone other that a court of law censoring your 1st Amendment speech rights?
Think hard about it ...

It should all come down to if the violation is disputed or not. If I send you a DMCA and you don't / can't dispute it, you lose. If you can dispute it, it will escalate and whoever can prove ownership should win.
I don't see this as being a difficult issue. If you own something, or have the rights to use it, you should be able to prove it.
