voteauction.com (an austrian site) was deleted from the dns root server
following a decision of an american court. Auction sites like Ebay are
no longer allowed to sell swasticas and german Wehrmacht-uniforms in
France (and they have to make sure that nobody can access such offers).
American Nazi Gary Lauck was sued in Germay for (amongst other things)
running an anti-semitic website (which was (and I think still is) hosted
in the US).
