It is sad to see government types, particularly ones from our US

Had these people written our own 4th Amendment it probably would have 
sounded more like:

The right of intellectual property owners and Federal administrative
agencies to inspect the persons, houses, papers, and effects of any
person shall not be limited. No warrants shall be needed nor shall
there be any need for Oath or affirmation nor any description of the
place to be searched or the persons or things to be seized.

Even databases of those holding dangerous instrumentalities (e.g. guns) 
are not required to be this open.

I guess a domain name, in the eyes of the intellectual property 
protectors (who are rarely intellectual property creators) is more 
dangerous than a loaded gun.

And the namby-pampy FTC - are those guys so lazy that they want to 
simply toss the real 4th amendment and the Privacy Act of 1974 and even 
the concept of personal privacy itself onto the trash heap? It seems so.
