GoDaddy and Dotster are the worst of the lot - both have pulled first then asked questions later. And it is up to them to decide what they feel as spam.
Just be careful.

I'm no lawyer, but a relatively brief perusal of their tos doesn't leave me with any warm fuzzies and does cause fear that some unscrupulopus cad could cause no end of pain and misery.
Just had a bad experience with a copyright infringer who knew no shame and caused all kinds of grief including trying to blame me for a virus on their server. I think it's time to move on and find another registrar who will, at least, ask first.

Ask first in what sense? Registrars are not judges and juries and shouldn't be: we've
got others more qualified for that.
On one hand, it's understandable if the registrar gets tough when someone abuses
their DNS or their services. But it's another if it starts clamping if the domain name is
using DNS from someone else.
We have other agencies who are better equipped to deal with such cases. It's a matter
of knowing whom to address your issues and knowing what exactly to do, though I
grant it's not easy.
BTW, Nancyb, you did send the C&D letter then the attorney route, didn't you?
As it turned out (so far), didn't need a lawyer but I have all documentation should it be necessary. Should make it clear that my registrar did not take any action against me - perhaps they weren't contacted - don't know, but also don't want to take chances so I'm moving up and away from the lower end registrars.
