why should you or anyone be allowed to buy a trademarked name? I could see if it was just part of the name like TheJayShow.com and the guys name was Jay but to think you should be able to buy a trademarked name like TheJayLenoShow.com is crazy

Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting), according to the United States federal law known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price.....
