what's super fun here is that often in conversations with registries
about domains used for malware/spam/etc there's a conversation about:
"but we can't just shutdown a domain, we need the registrar to do
that... legal/contractual restraints prohibit us..."
interesting that in THIS case the registry just took the action, was
the domain registered through their registrar arm?
