Verisign seizes .com domain registered via foreign registrar
“Sports betting is illegal in Maryland, and federal law prohibits bookmakers from flouting that law simply because they are located outside the country," DHS said.<p>LOL what? "You can't flout the law just because you're outside the jurisdiciton of the law".<p>---<p>Also, the crux of the article is that a .COM domain registered an operated by Canadian entities was "taken over" by Verisign at the behest of DHS. Verisign added NS records at the root to redirect the affected domain to a takedown page.
