It's been a while since I read all the regs on this stuff, but at one point I read them enough that I believed I understood them and the definition of fair-use (at one point I was threatened for squatting on a name I owned).

This section in particular seems related: http://www.icann.org/en/help/dndr/udrp/policy#4b

Obviously the purchase date in relation to any trademarks may be relevant. Maybe what I should have said originally was that if I felt he was attempting to extort me, I'd handle it in a manner other than paying what he asked because he beat me to the purchase.

That being said, this bridge is a long way away from being crossed and the .com doesn't even warrant an entry on my todo list.
