What could they have on me? That my site is also 2 word domain and one word is the same?
Or another example:
Hostelbookers.com and I create similar site on hostelseekers.com
There are many sites on domains hostel"anotherword".com
Ps: that face porn site had not only domain name, but also design/color scheme similar to fb

If you are creating a site with the word "windows" in it and the site is in any way profiting from microsoft's trademark then you can be sued. I have a friend who just owned a name such as xboxchat and had to settle in the $xxxx range just for owning the name. It was that or spend $xxxx+ to fight it.
Now if you have a name such as domanname forum.com then another can have dnforum.com. Can you register dnforum.net (if it was available) setup a domain forum on it and profit just because "d" "n" and "forum" are generic letters/words? No, because Dicker has a trademark on it. He doesn;t own a trade mark on "domain" "name" "d" "n" "forum" or any derivation thereof but he does have one on "dnforum" and other dnforum's being utilized as a domain forum would be confusingly similar and therefore you would be considered profiting from his trademark.
