This article is interesting in the laymans perspective as to
jurisdiction of the resources, i.e. when a resource is operated
by a US corporation subject to the US Courts, it can and does
make orders of a technical nature i.e. "terminate service" "seize
equipment" and other things.

It looks to me like the cleaner way to do this would be
to order TUCOWS to lock the NS and then order the physical
layer seized. My business experience tells me that they could
easily get this order enforced as part of recovering the judgement
that is already entered.

We have a similar problem with root operators since 92% of the
resources are run by US entities.
