Well, that's the point. Once they get 9/10's of the Law on their side 
you'd be hard pressed to get your domain back.

I can see the point of going after someone registering a domain with the 
idea of confusing the public, or to squat on it and hope to make big 
bucks getting bought out, but to be engaged in something with no 
monetary activity whatsoever and have the 900 lbs Gorilla sit on you is 
an abuse of power and position.

otoh, the great big machine that is a global business thinks in terms of 
cut throat win or loose, to allow someone else to own your name & brand 
seems unacceptable to them. Still, it would be better to turn a blind 
eye to those that got a favorable evaluation, good will and all that. As 
it is now they left a bathtub ring, a sour taste in the mouth so to speak.
