---- Domain can be 'taken' legally?

Right - I think the legal basis is that the cybersquatting act is retroactive, meaning that you can't sit on a domain that interferes with a trademark regardless of when it was filed or how you aquired the domain. I just had to give up a domain to AOL for a name they'd aquired. Exception: you are using the domain reasonably in a non-competitive way with the trademark holder.
