they are not doing it at the Registrar level(by contacting the registrar for the domain and forcing them to update the authoritative name server info to point to NS1.SEIZEDSERVERS.COM, NS2.SEIZEDSERVERS.COM), but rather through the agency who controls the top level domain. In this case, all the “seized domains” appear to be .com and the agency/company who has the ICANN contract for this TLD is VeriSign(which also controls .net TLD).
Isn't this why the ICANN contract for a TLD should not belong to an American corporation? Logically, it should go a company in Switzerland, who have traditionally handled such things, and continue to be perceived as low in corruption [1] and high in democracy [2], with strong property rights [3]. They tend to be neutral in wars, and are not part of the EU (which is probably a bad idea for an independent TLD.)
