Counterexample: The Pirate Bay. In spite of repeated domain seizures, a

it shut down, it continues to operate to this day.
The fact that The Pirate Bay is apparently still going in some form is
neither here nor there. The statement is about control of a given domain
name. Certainly the fact that it’s had at least one domain seized
(albeit via centralized control over .se than the root) supports the
proposition rather than contradicting it.
