Has anyone had any luck or success in buying domains that wouldn't be trade mark infringements, but if developed could be damaging to big company? Example: "Big Box Store" they have a very high complaint rate and someone starts website BBSsucks.com or BBScomplaints.com and starts blog where consumers can come and post all their complaints about said store. The "Big Box Store" is trademarked, but not BBS.
Could a domainer secure those websites for company, then sell them to said company so they can protect their brand? I know it almost sounds like extortion, except you are not threatening to develop website if they don't purchase. You would just send email stating,
"I see you have a high volume of complaints and securing these domains would help protect your brand. If you are interested in purchasing these domains please reply to this email.." or something to that effect.
Is that wrong? Or just good business?
