    (Forgive me for my poor English, I may use unnecessary words.)

    Actually, I have two questions:

    1. Do .com, .net and .org domains also treated with legal stuff too?
    2. I have a domain which is a model of a cellphone company - like G1 of Google G1 (not that I have g1.org :)). And I live in Turkiye, not in the USA. Would I be compelled to give this domain to the company, because of the legal stuff?

    I'd appreciate if you'd answer me in plain English :).

    Yes, it's still trademark infringement and it doesn't matter where you live or who it is registered to - it can be taken.

    Domains are controlled by ICANN, and they'll have no problem taking the domain from you, and giving to the proper company (its really just a few clicks for them ;))

    I heard s.o. who had a domain including a Tv or radio name, his domain has been taken by court order in Turkey.
    take it in your language: domaini bir tv-radyo ismi içerip de dava edilip elinden domaini alınanı duydum Türkiyede.
