Oh, I'm pretty sure Ralph Lauren will have a problem with what you're intending to do with the domain name. While one can register practically any domain name they want, their use is limited by any applicable law or policy, namely trademark infringement.

No. It is trademark infringment.

What you just wrote basically ticks off every official reason for your domain to be transfered away from you through an arbitration centre.

Read sections 4 A and B of the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy over at ICANN:

yeah you will be pissing them off to sue you if you but porn on it.

I won't bother holding out for a hugh payment, see Armani spent hundreds of thousand to get a domain where the owner just wanted a few thousand. Not a money issue here. It's against their TM and people in fasion loves sueing people for publicity.

So I won't bother if I were you, not worth the trouble.

As an add to the above posts, I would suggest searching WIPO and look at how domains can literally be taken away from you.

Captain Dave

BTW, I do have free domain information available and a WIPO news link on my page.
