This is because of a court ruling:

The district court issued a final Judgment (PDF) allowing Nissan Computer to keep its nissan.com and nissan.net domain names, but restricted our rights to do the following: 1. Posting Commercial content at nissan.com and nissan.net; 2. Posting advertising or permitting advertising to be posted by third parties at nissan.com and nissan.net; 3. Posting disparaging remarks or negative commentary regarding Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. or Nissan North America, Inc. at nissan.com and nissan.net; 4. Placing, on nissan.com or nissan.net, links to other websites containing commercial content, including advertising; and 5. Placing, on nissan.com or nissan.net, links to other websites containing disparaging remarks or negative commentary regarding Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. or Nissan North America.

Wow, it's totally stupid to have a court ruling essentially restricting your free speech on your own domain name.
