I am confused though. How did the US government just snatch domains? Shouldn't there normally be a court case or something first? Were these sites not playing by DMCA rules? Or what.

It seems odd to me, because why then would they just not snatch thepiratebay domain or isohunt's domain as well? Trying to understanding how and why they targeted these sites with these actions.

some registrars will shut u down if enough pressure ;)

Thank God for small mercies!
But they could wipe off mammothly visited sites such as Yahoo,YouTube and Google.
Yes – no chatting with your pals in Manhattan after the “kill switch” is turned on.
Google,Yahoo and YouTube, the top three most visited sites, are all based in the US.
Google logs an estimated two billion hits a day from 300 million users."
