The argument that NameCheap (and its supporters) provide is that this is a good thing that makes them stay because NameCheap shouldn't be policing domains or some other free speech nonsense ignoring that this is pure facilitation of crime. Ignoring that this is blatantly violating their own T&Cs and the ICANN guidelines.
No, the argument is it's either this "free speech nonsense" or gestapo filtration like the Apple's/Google's app review process, where the big company is the judge and the jury, and I prefer the former.
The domain is even listed on the USPTO site as a scam operation [2], yet no action has been taken yet.
