Microsoft files complaint over XboxOne.com domain
Curious folks have always paid attention to Microsoft-registered domains so buying up XboxOne.com for example, would have ousted the name of the new console. Because they had to wait, Microsoft is now hurrying to register all the relevant domains for its Xbox One brand.
And as such they have filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum over the domains XboxOne.com and XboxOne.net, both of which are currently owned by a UK resident.
Microsoft generally has a lot of success when it comes to these kinds of disputes so there’s very little chance of things not going the way they want them to.

-Tenth- If I was the person who got the domain before them, I would make them pay lots of money for it.
you would have to be smart about it because if you push too far then you will be taken to court and lose the domain and get no money. But good luck on guessing the name of the next Xbox...

Kiingyy-Tenth- If I was the person who got the domain before them, I would make them pay lots of money for it.
Due to copyright reasons, they can take the domain free of charge because they own the copyright name.
So for example if i owned www.xboxone.com, they would be able to take it from me because they own the copyright information for xboxone.
I think this is wrong because you are paying to keep the domain up.

HumanAbbreviatexSTaTiCBLuEx What right do they have to take a lawsuit out? That's totally uinfair. The current owner owns it fair and squar, end of surely.
You can legally seize any domain created with the clear intention to obstruct your business.
it depends when it was registered doesn't it really... if it was registered 2 years ago and intended to be a fan site then it isn't the owners fault
