So Manwin.co is wasting their time trying to keep that ridiculously crappy domain. Enjoy the legal fees.

FYI Radish, look up common law trademarks and note that domains have been taken from people by companies with mere common law trademarks and no registered trademarks.
From the USPTO:

http://www.uspto.gov/faq/trademarks.jsp#_Toc275426712

"What are ?common law? rights?

Federal registration is not required to establish rights in a trademark. Common law rights arise from actual use of a mark and may allow the common law user to successfully challenge a registration or application."

"May" means "may or may not" in this instance.
