That depends on the issue.

In this case, it appears he may actually have a trademark on .com that can be verified. Otherwise, I would agree with you. A lot of times on the web people will claim they have trademark or copyright when they do not. So you are best to let the lawyers handle it and call the bluff.

But there are some circumstances where it's not worth the fight, and better to just roll over. I can't say something like ownership of a domain/site is one of those cases though. I would refer to a lawyer.
