You asked for an opinion, and you got it, and I think this is a better option than calling someone with a female voice.
You own domain names of small businesses and are going to try to get them to buy these domain names, which is the same BS that was pulled years ago whether you like it or not - and that is a big reason for the ACPA. As far as I am aware, the domain buyer is required to do his own due diligence before buying a domain name to make sure it doesn't infringe on someone else's mark.
Regardless of whether you knew of the companies or just found out doesn't matter - well, perhaps for legal implications but for the purpose of this post, let's put the legal issue aside. As someone who works with small businesses, I know it will look like extortion, and newspapers love to print this type of story.
Perhaps you should have asked this in the legal forum or in a non-newbie forum, as this isn't exactly a good question to ask newbies. For informational purposes, I am not a newbie in this industry, and for further advice, I wouldn't ever respond with a rude post like yours above when someone provided you with good advice. It's a small industry and people have long memories.

This is why I stick with posting in private domain forums and on my blog rather than posting in a forum dealing with rookies like yourself.
