<font face="sans-serif">Further to below, Verisign admitted that the
seizure action was done through them (this is about the old case
mentioned in my email). quoting from below referred item. <br>
<br>
So, Adam, changing the registrar in the present case under discussion
would simply not have helped. So lets focus on the real problem, and a
possible solution to it. <br>

<blockquote>VeriSign sent this statement:
<blockquote>
<p>VeriSign received sealed court orders directing certain
actions to be taken with respect to specific domain names, and took
appropriate actions. Because the orders are sealed, further questions
should be directed to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.</p>

No, it is the location of the registrar. In Rojadirecta's case seems
it was GoDaddy a U.S. company. Rojadirecta should have transferred
their name away from a US company as soon as they had trouble. <br>

Are you sure? Similar seizures earlier were done from the registry
operator level who runs the generic tld, verisign in that case<br>

<blockquote>Ben Butler, Go Daddy’s director of network abuse, has
just
provided me with the following statement, via a spokesperson:
<blockquote>
<p>It appears the domain names were locked directly by
VeriSign. Go Daddy has not received any law enforcement inquiries or
court orders concerning the suspension of the domains in question.</p>
<p>Go Daddy has not been contacted by ICE or DHS on the domain
names in question.</p>

The point is ICANN, tld operators and many top registrars all are
subject to US jurisdiction and will HAVE to to what US Laws seeks of
them.... So the question of an international treaty raised by Stephane.
