No kidding, eBay allows JavaScript in description texts. What a stupid idea - JavaScript can do all sorts of things, including accessing other parts of the page via DOM and changing content there.
Apart from the fact that JavaScript can do many other nasty things that become particularly interesting in the context of an auction system.
And what does eBay say about it? That they would allow JavaScript so that sellers can make their offers interesting. Question: why on earth would you need JavaScript for that? You need HTML. And CSS. And maybe more intelligent formatting of the eBay pages themselves. But JavaScript? That's completely crazy ...
It seems only idiots work at eBay

Furthermore, the matter has no fundamental significance - the users of the domain will probably see it differently. After all, they have effectively been deprived of their home on the web. But as long as judges believe they don't need to deal with the matter, there will continue to be such absurd rulings. Sure, no one will take it to the constitutional court over a domain, so the Oldenburg Regional Court gets away with such a fundamentally flawed ruling.

GTK OSX - Run Gimp without X11 on OS X
What Strato did is - as you would expect from Strato - rarely stupid. Terminating a contract before the domains have been moved is recklessly careless. Especially since you know what kind of outfit NSI is. Nevertheless, of course the behavior of NSI - as you would expect from NSI - is outrageous and in my view unacceptable. The company should be shut down - their business practices happily operate in the triangle of spam, extortion, and fraud.

The Dead Early Retiree Will Probably Be Counted as Collateral Damage
Of course, one can now argue that he was responsible himself, that he could have taken care of things, that he certainly could have found another way to get treatment. All nonsense. When situations become harder to understand and manage, it's always the weakest members of society who fall by the wayside. And all of this for a few miserable euros...
