That alone is incentive for anyone to remove themselves from the situation

In the case of Copyright infringement there is a specific statute in place, namely the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and it only passes liability to the web host upon notice, not on up the chain to registrar. There is no such statute that I'm aware of that mentions anything about culpability for domain registrars.

I don't understand why this was even reported to DirectNic. Why wasn't it reported to the web host? There's more going on here than is being stated publicly.
