If it means the security of hundreds/thousands/millions of account names/password, etc...then yes, they have a right IMO.

If a big site like Google or Amazon all of a sudden posted a ton of credit card info or any kind of personal info, I'd rather have it yanked immediately in terms of taking site down temporarily until it was removed. Protecting people's security is much more important then a website losing some business.

If a site was up for days with people's personal info, alot would be ticked that the site or another site like godaddy for example didn't pull it to stop the breach of security.
This situation makes me think of the Spamhaus / e360insight case were the Judge awarded e360insight 11.7 Million dollars for Spamhaus's failure to appear in a U.S. Court (they aren't based in the U.S.). What if other "e360insight" come around and manage to get registrars to start yanking domain names.. it should be up to ICANN.

Re: Question of Authority..

Yes but how long would it take for ICANN to temporarily yank it. I'd imagine a little longer because of having to get a 3rd comapny involved. I could be wrong but just wary when things involve waiting on another company to take action.

Who is the 3rd company involved? Myspace should have done directly to ICANN, presented their case, and ICANN would have yanked it. GoDaddy is under the regulation of ICANN.

Re: Question of Authority..

Godaddy has pulled similar schenanigans in the past, by killing the domain hosting the NAMESERVER a spammers domain was pointed at. Godaddy have serious ethical issues to address here, and should not be meddling in the domain name system if they are unwilling to do so in a fair and proper manner. Their current MO is simply yanking whatever they dont like for whatever reason and sending a groundless bill to the owners holding their domains hostage until they pay up so they will be permitted to transfer their domains elsewhere. This is not behavior i tolerate from a registrar, and suggest any godaddy customers to research what the company has been up to. They may be cheap, but they certainly arent to be trusted.
