Hi,
Trade marks are trade marks, and there are laws applied to them. Domain
names are domain names, "lables" used for a lot of purposes. If you use
someone else's trademark on a label trying to sell your product, you
probably break the law. When you register a domain name you get no more
rights to use this name than you had before. You are just registering a
unique name on a label in a hierarchy. If you misuse someone else's
trademark, you will be brought to court.
Simple, isn't it?
Best regards,
