Faceporn + unique design and site = No issue
Faceporn + site design that looks very much like Facebook = "confusingly similar" and bad faith usage. You fucked yourself with that design...changing it after the fact doesn't save you.

Octopus.com was just lost in UDRP to a business called Octopus Travel. Octopus.com was a 1-word generic domain registered since 1989. Why was it lost? Because the owner knew about Octopus Travel (which was obvious - he had WORKED there) and bought Octopus.com and put travel ads on it clearly in bad faith. Octopus.com + a site about octopus with no travel ads and he was fine. Throw in the travel ads and he lost his 5-6 figure name.

Simply put, you're going to lose. Enjoy the fight and enjoy the ensuing bankruptcy.
