The comment was more for the purpose of scaring spammers who migth think of using those domains, than because it's actually true. And while those domains don't have lawyer-time available, they certainly have sysadmins that ISPs will listen to when they start complaining to upstream providers about people forging their name on outbound spam... So the assumption is maybe not fully fleshed out, but certainly holds somewhat true.
