    This is a question best directed at a copyright/trademark attorney, not an internet forum :)

    Yes, considering iPod is a registered trademark and Apple has every right to force you to take the site down and transfer the domain name to them.

    To expand what markn26 posted, don't assume that others seemingly getting
    away with it is fine. Not everyone gets caught, but those that do tend to pay
    a price.

    People are aware of the risk involved with developing sites with such trademarked names and hence I do not think you will be able to find a good price... or even a buyer at all! :eek:

    One can view that as bullying. Another can view that as protecting one's right.

    Depends what side of the fence one is on.
