When domains are seized, does the new "owner" pay the registration renewals? If so, what's to stop someone from doing this:

- create a vanity TLD with high renewal fees

- register a bunch of sites that are mirrors of already seized domains

- mention them in enough places they get noticed

- ???

- profit

These domains aren't being seized, they are being blocked. In this case, as per TFA, they're just overriding the domain nameserver at the ISP default DNS server.

Even if they were actually seized, do you think if the police seize a rental car they'll be paying the rental fee until they give it back?
