Not just .com. US law applies to any TLD managed by a US registrar. An example is .tv which is managed by Verisign.

Considering .tv is the domain for another country I find this more than a little stupid. Not necessarily surprising, but stupid all the same.

Do you have any examples of that? As far as I know while .com/.net/.org are under US jurisdiction, it isn't the case of other TLDs managed by Verisign.

They moved to http://www.firstrowsports.eu/

Thanks. I'm surprised by that, are there more details about the seizure? What it through Verisign or the registrar?

Verisign is the registrar for all .tv and .cc domains.
