Unfortunately .nz has the structured second level domains, so you'd end up with kitte.co.nz.
First thing that popped in to my mind: decepti.co.nz My mind wasn't the first it popped in to though.
I still don't understand why insane people use ccTLDs for the characters, rather than due to the national law. It's like picking a flag of convenience for your ship due to the pretty colors of the flag.
This reminds me of the need for robust P2P tech in the name resolution layer.

Do they? No one seems to be using them despite the fact that centralized DNS seems to be fatally flawed. Maybe it just really isn't that big of a problem when put in context.
The little guy has more to lose than the big guys, but few people are going to jump through hoops for the little guy.
I realize that Gabon isn't the US, but having something taken away before any crime is even committed. That seems a bit extreme. What's next, pre-crime units?
My understanding is that his domain registration was invalidated or revoked because he made a public statement that he would use this domain to circumvent anti-piracy laws. I'm sure it's in the Registrar's TOS that using domains for criminal enterprises is not allowed.
Though, as someone pointed out, if you follow the purse strings you hit Vivendi which is deeply invested in copyright. Seems likely that someone realized that they had access to kill his .ga domain, sent out the relevant requests, and extreme (rather than measured) action was taken.

I might not be in a demographic that matters, but I do wonder about the numbers.
The .ga registrar is managed by a subsidiary of Vivendi, so this isn't too surprising.
For those that don't know, Vivendi is a French conglomerate that has strong holdings in music, movies, TV, and video games. Their assets include Universal Music Group and a 61% stake in Activision Blizzard.
