yes, that is correct, and is the case with drupal.com

most cases of TM infringement are fought based on the top level domain. the top domain always wins and is usually the cause for cyberaquatting exactly because they can hijack traffic and create brand confusion. if it were not so, why would the owner try to sell it for 25K? they obviously believe the traffic that domain gets just by existing is worth that amount of money. and for a pornographer or other unscrupulous netpreneur, that may be a bargain if they can double their investment in ad monetization or direct sales.

above and beyond our opinion of cybersquatters, notice that the domain is not .org.

The Drupal Association, or someone in Sweden acting on their behalf, should be able to get drupal.org.se

In Argentina, proof of existence of membership and authorization of an organization is required to take out a site, like drupal.org.ar

Now, this depends on the Swedish registrar organization, so that's where the solution can be found.

what he's doing would be completely illegal.  If there's any way Dries
can sue his ass for trademark infringement, I think he should.  That guy
has no right to profit from the Drupal name and holding the domain
hostage like that is totally disrespectful to the community who's
software he's (still!!) using.  What a f***ing schmuck.
