Very unfortunate that Namecheap isn’t cooperating. Not really sure what the hold up is, some say it’s related to the Namecheap vs. Tucows lawsuit [0], but realistically it wouldn’t make much sense to do something like this out of spite. I wonder if they’re worried about potential legal obligations of turning over such a “controversial” domain?
