Because a (terrible terrible no good) Dutch owned website contravened Texas law, Verisign was ordered to remove the domain name from the .COM zone, and they complied. This has happened before, and it will likely happen again. If a US state doesn't like what you do, your .COM domain name may disappear on you. Mirror of Texas statement, cuz the original is not accessible from the EU: https://archive.is/kOmc4#selection-838.0-838.1
