ICANN isn't involved. The registry may be. However I thought that some 
registrars were cooperating. This group will take down sites that are hosting 
or selling infringing material. It requires an affidavit, for Sites hosting 
goods a buy is required.  I'm out of the office. But I'll try to find some more 
information and send it along.

Thanks Fred. 
 
The article cites ICANN...... 
 
The owner of the site claims that the seizure occurred suddenly and without 
warning: "My domain has been seized without any previous complaint or notice 
from any court! I firstly had DNS downtime. While I was contacting GoDaddy I 
noticed the DNS had changed. Godaddy had no idea what was going on and until 
now they do not understand the situation and they say it was totally from 
ICANN."
 
I doubt ICANN were involved but if anyone knows otherwise I would be interested 
to know - this would have an impact on some of the RAP WG recommendations being 
taken forward.

without notifying their owners nor going through the court systems. -
