But a little more knowledge goes a long way to understanding more how these things go. The link I included below gives an idea of what legal options you have. But the catch to that is you must be able to demonstrate trademark rights based on what the laws allow. No trademark rights, no rights to the domain name at all. In short, there are no authorities to report this to because there's really NO ISSUE to begin with. There is no authority (ICANN, IETF, etc. just look 'em up) who has set "standards" or "metrics" on how a domain name will be used, and none will likely be set anytime soon or in the future. And even if someone finally does, we're all going to see our options severely limited. One only needs to imagine how s/he would feel if that sort of thing happened to him/her. You're stating what is based on your EXPECTATIONS. They can be wrong if especially based on inaccurate or incomplete information. Your only options are to buy the domai name from its current registrant or move on. Life is too short spending too much time and effort exploring ways to obtain something which doesn't belong to you to begin with. Understandable how you “feel” about it based on what you know.
