... The domain in question is mooo.com, which belongs to the DNS provider FreeDNS. It is the most popular shared domain at afraid.org and as a result of the authorities’ actions a massive 84,000 subdomains were wrongfully seized as well. All sites were redirected to the banner below. ...

Shh, don't give them ideas! I think that's the next step after COICA (the US domain disablement bill that would give the US government power to stop domain name resolution at the registry, registrar, or other service provider, over claims of copyright or trademark infringement).
I actually used some of ICANN's SSAC work in arguments against COICA in an IEEE column: <http://wendy.seltzer.org/pubs/COICA-IEEE.pdf>
