I must admit this is sad that the Internet is not decentralized enough to prevent such moves. TLD .com is managed by Verisign which is based in US, therefore it would be prudent to move GLBSE onto a different TLD, with a registrar and the TLD registry based in some liberal place.
It would be prudent for all Bitcoin services which do not require a physical nexus or an interface with the legacy banking system to operate anonymously on Tor like Silk Road does to insulate them from future changes in the law and/or extra-legal regulatory harassment.

True, but then again they are cutting themselves from a big portion of customers who never heard of / used TOR.
