There is a very well know magazine, let's call it "CoolWorld Magazine" and they
are part of a large publisher. They also own CoolWorld.com to compliment
their magazine.
I just picked up CoolWorld.net...
Is there a problem sending CoolWorld.com a letter asking them if they want
to purchase my .net extension???
Can they legally take it from me if they don't want to buy it?
Thanks,
HumDog
Well, I am not a lawyer but can give my opinion.
Contacting them potentially opens a door to a udrp/wipo etc should they take that route and MAY be used as evidence of bad faith. Also be sure not to use/park the domain with ads for magazines etc, similar use.
In saying that it's not an automatic loss and if the name is worth losing, contaxt away, keep a reasonable price in mind and live and learn.
Anybody can sue anybody for any reason at all.
That doesn't mean they are right or would win.

Case closed.

Can they sue, yes. Can they win, I would think that you contacting would help them. ...for that matter, I would think this post would help them. If you really want to do something with it then develop a site about the cool world and wait for them (or someone else) to approach you.
