why is .net .ru .whatever even sold then?
what if I register "hello-hello.net" then 2 weeks later someone registers "hello-hello.com" - does the .com overpower the .net or whatever?

Wrong.
If the name is trademarked and someone buys the same with a different extension and sets up a competing type site, it's a trademark violation.
If I buy thehun.org and setup a porn site I'm violating his trademark.
If I buy thehun.org and setup a site that sells battle axes, as far as I know, I'm not violating his trademark since I'm not in a competing market. I believe you also have to show that you have some claim to the name such as you've been in business for a while as The Hun's Battle Axe Shop.
thehun.ru as a porn site is a clear violation of the thehun trademark.
