Not just .com. US law applies to any TLD managed by a US registrar. An example is .tv which is managed by Verisign.

Considering .tv is the domain for another country I find this more than a little stupid. Not necessarily surprising, but stupid all the same.
Do you have any examples of that? As far as I know while .com/.net/.org are under US jurisdiction, it isn't the case of other TLDs managed by Verisign.
Thanks. I'm surprised by that, are there more details about the seizure? What it through Verisign or the registrar?
Verisign is the registrar for all .tv and .cc domains.
