I know this happened for a fact! And I cannot reveal the players and companies involved.So please don't ask!! I absolutely know this went down!!
With what I have seen go down in the past, is why I'm asking what I'm asking.

I am no expert, but I think the fact that you use the website for something has its importance as well. If you don't use it for anything I think it falls under "cybersquatting".
I remember a time when whitehouse.com was a porn site.
I'm pretty sure the 'merica gov did all they could to get it back or at least get rid of the porn content.
It's now a parked domain.
Fun fact: the domain has been blocked from the wayback machine:
Internet Archive Wayback Machine
