All I can say is, see my other last post. They have already "used" this 
tactic of killing ICANN DNS data, to close sites. It a) failed, since 
they where back up less than 24 hours later, under a new name, and b) 
didn't matter in terms of the "US funds" clause they tried to put in 
these things, since they where not in the US, and therefor either didn't 
need that, or where providing the content free, so where not selling to 
anyone in the US in the first place, where a transaction might happen. 
The super dumb comes from the presumption that they shouldn't have to 
have just cause, or evidence, or a court order, or anything else, 
presumably, other than some moron's "anonymous tip".
