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.
