    You are playing a dangerous game doing that, you could very easily lose any domain that has a company copyrighted name in it, I would find a different one.

    Yes cyber squatting for money will not work and I agree that's the worst advice.
    Godaddy and as any big company has a legal department. they have lawyers on staff that are already getting paid anyway so for them it will not cost them more money they will just handle your case one day when it's time.

    They will rather use legal actions than paying you $0.01 for the domains. Companies will not let you profit from their trademark.

    you have need to confirm it with the company from where you register. if this domain is already used by another then how you can register for the domain. if it was already register for some one than it says this domain name is already registered

    Godaddy have placed a block on their users registering domain names with the name godaddy in them and that to me makes me think that you might as well donate the cash straight into their pocket that to go through the trouble of buying a domain name that carries no value...
